This Sunday morning the temperature was a more manageable 28 C. The sun was sometimes hidden behind clouds. The occasional breeze threatened to blow off my cap. All in all, a more run-friendly day. I did a slow 20 km run along the water front between Hung Hum and West Kowloon. Most of the time, with a man-made concrete forest on one side, and a God-made ocean, mountains and heavens on the other.
Then I came home to watch Jonathan Webster preaching online. I was surprised to find him referring to the man made stone forest of the famous Chartres Cathedral in France. He was actually quoting Orson Wells’ movie “F for Fake”. The names of the men who created the magnificent building and the sculptures which adorn it are unknown. But the people who actually follow Jesus will be remembered.
The problem, however, is that we are not as strong as we think. Even seemingly strong Christians can fall away, just like Peter in the Gospels, and many others in history. Many Christians are living the form of Christianity without being true followers of Christ. Many seem to be falling asleep. We need to wake up and be alive for God.
I feel I have met God through His creation and His words, all in one morning.
