The foolishness of God

I was thinking today about the statement,

"The gospel is a fairy tale."

Honestly, I think that statement is acurate.

The idea of the gospel is so incredible, so outrageous, that it is nearly imposible to believe...even for those who say they believe it.

The idea that we live in a Universe created simply by the will of one being is impossible enough.
But the idea that the creater of the Universe would concieve of an idea so outrageous as the gospel, and put it into play from the outset of the universe's creation is nearly imposible for a rational being to accept.

To take those who live in a state of inescapable karma, bound by the law of reaping what is sown, and release from His own heart a redemptive plan... an irrational plan that involves the only earthly being ever to eminate from Him rather than being created by Him...a plan that includes those who are being redeemed by the plan acting as the brutal murderers of the being who eminated from God, and lived the only exemplary life in human history, so that they the murderers could recieve, in a twist of the law of reaping what it sown, the perfect reward of that beings perfect life after murdering him.

What being in His right mind would ever concieve of such a plan, let alone impliment it at the cost of the only man to ever eminate from Him and live in perfect union with Him? It would be much more likely that He would let that man be the seed of a new race of perfect beings after destroying the fallen race of man who lived before him.

But instead, the Creator of the Universe sends His own son to die a brutal death at our hands, after being rejected by all men, and in one act destroys Karmic law. Destroys forever the law of reaping what was sown by our own hands. And invites us with open arms to live in an eternal Love relationship with Him where we daily experience the Power of His Spirit in us. Not as those who should rightfully have no position or inheritance in this new standing of redemption becasue of what we did to His son, but as sons and daughters ourselves. Inheriting the very standing of the one who we murdered.
To then raise that man from the grips of death and seat Him on the throne of the universe with His heart, love, experience, and scars intact, to live as an eternal King who daily stands before the Creater of the Universe, showing Him the scars in His hands saying "See, it has been done. I have the right to ask that you bless them. Please bless them." is....beyond irrational.

The thought that we could recieve a life so incredible by simply choosing to see the man Jesus as the one through whom our hope now comes, simply so that our ways of thinking and seeing could be renewed to recieve our new reality is beyond irrational.

It is totally irrational and utterly imposible that anything like this could ever be. It defies reason. It is no wonder that the world shakes its head in disbelief. To believe this would make life so amazing that it would be nearly imposible to live without shouting from the rooftops "LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE!!!"

Like Job, we have recieved 7 times what was taken from us. Both we, and our sons and daugeters recieve the inheritance in the same way that Job's Sons and daugters did. Adams sons and Daugters recieved the result of what what was done through him. Now we, as sons and doughters of the King, recieve His inheritance...eternal right standing with God.

I wonder sometimes what my life would be like if I fully believed the gospel. Not out of obligation, moving back into the fallen mind of man who's concience cannot recieve such an amazing gift let alone live in it, but as a captured son...redeemed fully from the grips of death...set free to forever live in joy, provision, and unity with Him.

The statement "the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength" is more true than anything we can concieve of.
Through it we live an impossibility...
A life eternally reunited with God.
