Rain...

Can you stop the rain from falling?
It's cold, wet, drops from hitting the earth?
So small, so powerless, there's nothing you can do.
If pouring, hard and long is its desire
If sprinkles, soft as flower petals choose to come
there's nothing you can do.

Oh the insignificance of man!
Oh the arrogence of looking inside such a powerless being to find truth.
Can you stop the rain from falling?
Can you discover God on your own?
Pray to the one who created the rain to fall on the evil and the good.

The search starts with Him.

Who do you say HE is?

Two thousand years ago, Jesus and his friends were having a conversation about who people thought he was. "who do people say the son of man is?" he asked them. They responded with what they had heard. But then Jesus changed the stakes. Turning from the informational to the personal, he looked them in the eye and asked: "But who do you say that I am?"
It's easy to answer the what-are-others-saying question. But there comes a point when we must face Jesus' question ourselves. Who do you say that he is?


Did you know that Jesus claimed to be God? A man, who was merely a man, and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.Who do you say that he is? is the most important question you can ask and answer.
