Hi there,
So I am noticing the points I am making about scripture are becoming simpler - I believe that is an answer to prayer (I want to be simple!). Take this example: what does Jesus question, when it comes to His responsibility to return?
The answer is "who will leave, because I come back?" in other words, knowing that the Devil can't part with the world he has praised himself for, knowing that the world has taken sides with the Devil, is there an expectation that it is better to be without the world at all, if Christ wants to spoil it? (Remember that Jesus said they would say "mountains fall on us! hills cover us!")
The point is, the world, nor the Devil really want to leave, but if they stay: how can Christ not compel them to think on something good, at least for a little while? This is going to be something for which Christ's compassion grows and grows!
Like I said, its not world beating theology, just simple inquiry - and a thought: how can we keep people (of the world) interested in Christ?
I hope this has been of some encouragement.
God bless (and bless the Lord's return).
PS. Lord grant us 'compassion' after 'compassion' and wisdom of interest, then compassion! In Jesus' Name Amen.
