as yet they did not understand

Listening to that new release I mentioned a few days ago, and the prophet Mullins says an amazing thing: "If you want a religion that makes sense, I'd suggest something other than Christianity. But if you want a religion that makes life, then I think this is the one."

What an inspired bit of wisdom. And it hits at the heart of why so many turn away from Christ and all He has to offer. The creation of the world doesn't make sense to some. The presence of suffering in this world doesn't make sense to some. The existence of miracles doesn't make sense to some. The only door to salvation doesn't make sense to some.

But Christ never made sense. Not to the disciples. Not to the religious leaders. Not to His own family. And the entire plan of salvation said aloud makes no sense. Death of a perfect One to save all who believe. Of course that doesn't make sense.

And that is the great thing about God. Because the only way to save people who don't make sense but who think they do make sense and who think they want all things to make sense is to save them without any sense. God's love is completely senseless. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
