Enjoy Life--please

Enjoy Life
The big conflict between the theory of evolution and the Genesis creation account is this: The Biblical account speaks of a Creator who created man in His image and likeness. The theory of evolution requires no creator only a “big bang” and lots of time. Of course the theory of evolution bothers most believers because it attempts to explain how everything came to be over time without God. The Biblical account says that God, from the very beginning, has been working along side His sixth-day creation—man.
Humanity is unique to God. Man is the only one of creation that has a spirit and soul. With his spirit, he becomes God conscience. With his soul, he becomes self-conscience. These unique dynamics of man give him meaning and purpose in living. Life is physical. Life is spiritual. Life is emotional. Life is for man.
Let me illustrate, please.
Without proper punctuation, words can be meaningless. Take these fourteen words as an example: That that is is that that is not is not that it it is. Now punctuate them, and they read: That that is, is that that is not. Is not that it? It is. The significance of the fourteen unpunctuated words is not what they say, but what they don’t say. They say nothing because they are not punctuated. Life is that way. Unpunctuated, it is monotonous and meaningless. It takes the exclamation points, questions marks, periods, and the dashes to make life rich and relevant. Life without punctuation is like a piano with only one note, a phone book with only one number, a thermostat with only one degree, or a highway with only one sign. The question marks of life might perplex us. The commas might try our patience, and the periods might stop us against our desires. But without the punctuation marks, life for man would be nothing more than a monotonous succession of unbroken days.
Rejoice and be glad! God has given us life—abundant life—through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus cared so much for us that he laid down His life for us. But before He died for us, He showed us how to live our lives. Life is caring for the other guy. Jesus cared for others. Life is participating. Jesus participated in joyful occasions like wedding feasts. He healed others by His touch, with His words, and by His love.
Jesus was at times angry with hypocrites, and He expressed His anger openly. He was at times tired, and would remove Himself from the crowds. Most of the time Jesus was met by the rejection of men. And the rejection was most often from the very people He was helping. There was a time that He even wept. Jesus punctuated life with His very soul and spirit. He was emotionally involved with life. How about you? Are you involved in life? Are you making your mark in the world? If not, let me encourage you to start living with meaning and purpose. Punctuate your life with Christ Jesus.
Keep the faith. Stay the course. Jesus is coming again for you and me, but until He appears—enjoy life.
