THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD
And
God created the heaven and the earth
He
created them by and for Himself, without the help of humankind
Then
He decided to create humankind to share His creation with humankind
So
He created the first man and the first woman, and made them stewards over the
earth
Adam
and Eve disrespected and disappointed God
They
rather chose to obey Satan instead of obeying Him
By
their disobedience they surrendered the earth to the control of Satan
By
their rebellion they permitted sin to dominate humankind and all creation on
earth
God
punished them and Satan
He
also drove them from His presence because of their sinful nature
Yet
God continued to love them and even covered their shame
Nevertheless,
their descendants continued to rebel towards Him
He
used all means to redeem and reconcile with them but to no avail
So
God decided to sacrifice His life for these wicked, impudent and hard-hearted rebels
He
came down from heaven to this earth to demonstrate His love to these stubborn rebels
They
despised, mocked, maltreated, persecuted, rejected and crucified Him like a dog
He
died but resurrected because death could not hold Him captive
He
has still not given up on humankind, especially those who continue to reject
Him
Even
those who have reconciled with Him only a few of them truly and faithfully love
Him
Is
God not acting more than a foolish person?
Can’t
He realize that His unconditional love has needlessly blinded Him?
What
is humankind that He is so fruitlessly
mindful of and not destroying swiftly?
He
says even His foolishness is far better and higher than the best wisdom of humankind
He
says even sinful humankind have compassion for their rebellious pets and children.
