So help me, and so be it, it’s the last word in the Bible. But do you know what it is? Without looking it up?
I’m sure you probably knew it. Because most of my readers and listeners are Christians. And if you’re a Christian, you probably also know that sometimes Jesus is called “The Amen.”
“Amen” is usually defined to mean “so be it” or “it is so.”
Or to describe it in another way…that’s the way it is, end of story, no arguments, please. I’ve heard many people say, “Jesus said it, I believe it, that’s it”. It’s better to say “Jesus said it…that’s it” (Can I get a last word in the Bible?).
Look, I know you might read (or listen to) this as a non-believer and think Christians believe we’ve got the market cornered on truth.”
Well, we don’t really think that way. But we do know THE Truth. Jesus called Himself that. And here’s your trilemma to consider. Jesus is one of three things…
- liar
- lunatic, or
- Lord
If you say He’s a liar, you’re gonna need to prove it. And I’ll let you in on a little secret. A lot of people have tried, only to find out it’s extremely difficult (aka: impossible). If you say He’s a lunatic, you’re gonna need to show some credible evidence. Because the overwhelming majority of eyewitness accounts say He did what He said He would do. And we still say He did.
My suggestion is you get to know Jesus as Lord. Your soul and spirit will be reborn to eternal life. And your body will too, eventually.
There’s a good reason the Bible is the bestselling book of all time.
It’s history, and it’s His Story. Your Creator wants you to know Him and experience the love you need for eternal life. Now, just like the last word in the Bible…can I get an “Amen?”
