THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD



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.
