Coming And Going
I am coming to you for me and I am returning for me to you. Just as people are doing and going all the time, in different places and ways, at different times to different people. Coming and going is an old expression of people doing whatever they want, when they want and for whatever reason. These days we have adapted it to a lot to a broad spectrum and a lot more detailed explanation. Just like a wombat, eats, roots and leaves, so do people go about doing what ever they want at any time they feel like it. The Bible talks about Jesus coming again to a better way of life, one that is responsive to other peoples needs and one that is lead by love with heavenly guidance from God. Sure we still get a choice, but the wise ones base their choices and facts on Biblical truths. The second coming is when Jesus comes again in all His glory to lead and guide His people into a heavenly relationship with God and to reign eternal and judge the earth by what people did and did not do. Yes! He is going to come and yes there is a judgement. People are still looking to the sky to see Him coming through the clouds at any time He feels like it, but it will be when God is ready and when earth bows its eyes and hearts to the one eternal God. God is a God of retribution for sure, He is also one of redemption and atonement. When they saw the rainbow, it was a sign that God would not destroy all the people on earth again with Noah and the flood. God sent His son Jesus to die for us and our sins that we might want to sin no more and that we all may come into a loving relationship with Himself and live as happy people in a right relationship with Himself. See life is better when we get the picture straight and right, when things fall into perspective and everything fits where it is meant to go. The world becomes clearer and we can see where we are going and much more easily, rather than ravished parties of sex orgies and lusting after one another all the time, that ends up in debauchery and adultry, broken marriages and children without love, care, attention and proper guidance. The internet is one way of coming, driving to friends houses to visit is another way of coming to them and going there is the same thing for a cup of tea and biscuits, a chat and chinwag and just talking about the weather and anything else relevant that you can think of, family and friends are very important. Just like I am coming to the shops for people who work there to buy something that they want to sell to me, so to are we going about our everyday daily business of working, eating shopping and survival. It makes good sense to interact, but not live promiscuous lives of evil desires and misgivings or misfortunes through our own shortcomings. Coming and going is doing your daily business with God and also working for better lives and a better world. I will return to that later.
