How Great is Our God

“And all will see, how great, how great is our God”

A line from a song sung recently at a Christian college meeting nearby. Speaking of course of us (as Christians) seeing God one day. Yet, the thought which came to mind that evening was “Indeed, how many billions upon this earth will see how great our God is when they face Him, in all His wrath, as He sends them to an eternity in the pit of hell.” Not to say we should not look forward to the day we (as Christians) will be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven, for certainly I do so quite often, and certainly we all ought to do so quite often. However, what I find so disturbing is that our own coming joy exists as the singular thought among Christians today. If there is a time to look forward to our joy, should there not to be a time to look forward to the sorrows so many in this world will one day face. That from such a view we could be filled with a love, which then drives us to save them from such a fate?

“A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance”
  -Ecclesiastes 3:4

So often do we laugh, so often do we dance, for our joy to come. When will we begin to weep, when will we begin to mourn, for the judgment to come, upon so many in this world.
