Beijing Olympics began tonight. Did you catch the opening ceremonies? Oh my, how incredible. Four hours of heart-pounding showmanship, taken to the bleeding edge. Matt Lauer of NBC called it "breathtaking."
Yet, in it all---think about this now----not one mention of God--the benevolent Creator who made mankind with all its potential. No credit given, not a word, not even a hint. It's as if man did it all himself. Four hours, millions of dollars, and billions of viewers, and God isn't invited. God is shut out. God, who made us all, and gave us our incredible minds and bodies...and not even a hint of thanks or even acknowledgement.
Is it a wonder that He sent his Son to die for us? To reclaim His Glory from the evil one (satan) ho seeks to rob God of all Glory?
Ponder this...
For all the majesty and glory of the Olympic Games and celebrations----one day, Jesus Christ will come to earth to receive his due glory of all mankind, and all the angels in heaven.
And I suspect--
that day will make the Olympic Ceremonies in Beijing--
look like a 2nd Grade school play
in comparison.
May Christ be praised and rule in our hearts!
