Prodigal:  What a cozy spot.

Me:  A perfect place for a tale.

Prodigal:  I am ready to listen.

This is from the book  Why Jesus? by Ravi Zacharias

The tale would go something like this:

In the beginning, God.

God spoke.   But that was a long time ago.

We wanted certainty-now.

For this, only Reason and Rationalism would do.

But that was not enough.  We wanted to “test.”

So we went into the senses and  found the empirical.

But that’s not what we meant by testing.  We really meant “feeling.”

So we found a way to generate feeling into the picture.

Truth was framed into a scene.

But the scene was left open to interpretation.   Scenes are not absolute.

So the story was told as an art form.

But the reader still didn’t like it, because he was not the author.

So he read the story while he sat in a reconstructed and deconstructed cubicle to make of the story whatever he wished.

But what does one do with the long reach of the empirical?

The best way was to find a blend between the empirical and the satirical and end up with God again.

The only difference was that God could not be the storyteller.

We still needed God.

So we became God.

Are you going with your on tale today?  Or you going to stick with God’s truth?  Your choice.  Your turn.

James 2:10

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty  of breaking all of it.
