The Biggest Lie In The World!

My reading today was the temptation of Jesus "by the devil" (Luke 4:2). This came up in the lectionary for preaching on the Sunday before last.

I am told that a lady stormed out angry and threatening never to return because "he preached on the devil...I don't believe in the devil"

There we have a closed mind and a person who has been sold the biggest lie that it is possible to swallow.

How do we explain the presence of evil in the world? We might say people...or greed...or power etc.

But what, or who is behind all that evil? And then what is behind what is behind all that evil?

Dr Luke knew that he was real.

Jesus knew that he was real.

Everyone will know that he is real....but for some it will be embarrassingly too late.

Have a good day,

Peter Clark.
