When I was a young child, television (TV) had started to become available in average American homes. There were only three viewing options: ABC, CBS, and NBC, each carrying similar competing shows plus the news. All the programs were in black and white (no one had yet solved the riddle of color television) and in our house we could only receive two of the three channels, plus it required constant tinkering with “rabbit ear” antennas, aluminum foil and metal hangers so you can see those two grainy channels.
Still, my family got a mix of infotainment from TV and we chose favorite shows to watch, adjusting our schedule to those shows. As television improved, more channels and a greater variety of programs forced us to spend more personal time watching them. There was something fascinating about watching another person live her life, even if it was scripted. Us They are watched with interest all the time.
Why is God fascinated with humanity? The Christian Bible does not tell us why, only that it is. A record of a shared journey between humanity and our creator, the Bible was written by many authors who had firsthand experience with God, beginning with the Book of Job (estimated to have been written around 1500 B.C.). ) and ending with the Book of Santiago. (estimated to have been written around 24 AD).
My opinion is that the unpredictable actions of mankind make us fascinating to him, just as the unknown fascinates us in a mystery, the unexpected puts us on the edge of our seat in a drama, and limitless risk excites us in a thriller. action on television. . We find such television stories of humanity on channels like HBO, AMC, Netflix, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime. God sees everything, in real time on the Earth Channel. He rarely interferes in the drama of our lives, but when he has, it was spectacular! Web search acts 26.
You have read an account of Paul of Tarsus (originally named Saul), a Christian apostle (one who is sent). He has languished in a Roman prison in the Roman province of Judea for two years, and now he has appeared before the king of Judea (Herod Agrippa II) and offered him the chance to explain the charges against him for violation of Jewish law. . In his explanation, Paul correctly identifies himself as a member of the Pharisees, a privileged Jewish sect known for strictly enforce Jewish law. He had persecuted and killed the early Christians (those who tried to form the Christian Church after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus). He then explains how Jesus (himself) faced him and changed his life to become a missionary for form christian churches.
Can you see how fascinated God would be to see Paul take on King Herod Agrippa II, in the presence of the Roman governor Festus? These men could have tortured and killed Paul on the spot, and he has told them things that (in his mind) might justify it. What stops them? King Agrippa actually says that Paul was wrongly imprisoned (endangering his own position as king of Judea). He then slyly tells Felix that Paul had cited his Roman citizenship (all Jews are Roman citizens at this point), and therefore he is in the wrong court of law. Felix sends Paul to Rome for further imprisonment (and eventual execution). Why wouldn’t God smite them all and set Paul free? Bad question.
God does not answer us. Fascinated with us, yes, but don’t try to figure it out. The way this turned out was that Paul would not stop trying to grow the Christian Church. Being in prison, he could only do so by sending letters of support to the churches he had already founded. His letters are cornerstones in the Christian Bible. Search the web for Colossians 3, 1-4, and 5-11. This is one of Paul’s letters, sent to the Christian Church located in the Roman Province of Asia Minor (located today in the country of Turkey). He wrote it around AD 53.
If you read the Colossians passages, you have read (in the year 2021 or later) the message of Paul. guide for you about what it means to be a Christian and how a Christian should live. God is fascinated with the lives of humans, including you. He rarely interferes. When it does, take note. You should let him know that he has reached his peak. its interest. Pray to him. Acknowledge him as God and accept his son Jesus as your savior. Try to live his life as Paul advised. jesus sacrifice was, and still is God’s grace to you. He admires Paul for his courage and selflessness. In the Christian Bible, look for guidance that clearly states that you, I, and all human beings, past, present, and future, will see Jesus at the same time, in our judgment of how we live as we act out our lives on Channel.
