Time Flies When You're Dreading Life

Sometimes I wish I could just exist, but not be.

Ugh.

I got 20 of 30 questions right on my Mensa Brain Quiz. lol. Like I could be smart.

I have really, really started to like City And Colour. Maybe I might buy the CD...Well, maybe I'll ask for it for my birthday.

It's in October, by the way.

On to the quote.

Hm. There doesn't seem to be a quote for today.

Okay, I will post one of my favourite quotes then.

"Not all who wander are lost."
-JRR Tolkien

Aren't we all just wandering around this earth, trying to figure out how we fit in?

I am.

Here is today's sermon-thingy:

One Sacrifice, One Testament - Message #346

When some people look at the Bible, they think the God of the Old Testament is different from the God of the New Testament. All they see in the Old Testament is those bloody sacrifices. And all they see in the New Testament is God's love displayed in Christ. But these are really two different perspectives.

When there is an accident, each witness usually has a little different perspective on what has taken place. Because they are standing in various places, each one sees the event a little differently. Each one may observe something that others do not notice. As a result, each witness puts his own spin on the story.

We realize there are no contradictions. There are viewpoints from various eyewitnesses. It is the same with the Bible. The people in the Old Testament had an entirely different viewpoint than the people in the New Testament. The Old Testament saints looked forward to the coming of Christ. These people heard the promises of God concerning His coming. They worshipped God in a magnificent tabernacle. Later they worshipped in an ornate temple overlaid with gold, which pictured the New Testament church. They saw the death of Christ pictured in the temple sacrifices.

Today, we have a different perspective. Christ came as promised. The ceremonies of the Jewish rituals are fulfilled. The sacrifice of Christ is accomplished. Those commissioned by God to write in the New Testament did two things. The gospel writers recorded the history of Christ's work. Others interpreted His life and work. Remembering these different perspectives helps us understand the Bible.

But what about Christ coming again?
He was promised to us. God said that he will return.
It's been an awful long time, and he still isn't here.
But you're coming, right?
Soon?
I hope so.
