There is the ache of the soul felt by those who do not have Christ in their life. Look at
how human beings have searched and continue to search for God!
Instinctively,
in our search for God, we know God is real. In our search, God's will is for
all of us to become fully alive. God does not want us dead, but alive. Our
physical body only lives so long. Eventually, our body stops working and we
die. Surely there is hope in the face of physical death. In the world, in the
worship of things, money, power, status, and whatever else people worship in
the world, there is death without hope. In truth, we have death in our bodies
with no bodily hope. However, we are alive in our spirit knowing our spirit
that will never die.
Sin is a great plague upon human beings. Sin is the great plague leading to our physical
death. Look at the sin-filled tragedies of history. Look at the sin-filled
tragedies of our current world. Does the human soul not ache for God? Indeed,
there is an ache in the soul to know and walk with God. However, the ache of
the soul for God has a balm, a cure, a fix, a solution, an ultimate
pain-reliever in Christ Jesus. For all the activities of all the people who
have ever searched for God and not found Him, they can find God hanging on a
cross. What kind of God is this? What kind of being is this? Hanging from a
cross? Wouldn't a REAL god have taken over the world? Wouldn't a REAL god would
have conquered nations and put all people under his dictatorial control? A REAL
god would not have permitted himself to be murdered, would he?!?!?! But
wait…the real God of all creation, the real God who created you, was a being of
love. Your real God, your personal creator, was a being of sacrificial love.
Your real God, your creator, sacrificed Himself so you and all other human beings could live in paradise for eternity.
