Wow another blog this week. It must be a record for me. We have three days off in a row so here I am. My wife Jocille has been reading my Daughters blog, and my son's blog to me the past few days and laughing and laughing at Pastor Pink's blog as she read his to me.
So I thought I better get serious about this. When you have a few days to sit and not much mony to spend, God is right there and speaks louder than usual. Allright, Allright, I know I am just listening better. One thing I listened to and watched when I was a kid was....(I am not wholly comfortable admitting this) Yes! I will confess that in my earlier days I was an unabashed fan of the Lone Ranger.
Every time he was on the black and white tv we had I would tune in to watch the exploits of the Lone Ranger. For "nowhere in those sterling pages of yesteryear can one find a greater champion of justice."
That's the way the program used to start. "We turn again to those thrilling days when out of the past came the thundering hoof beats of the great horse, Silver, for the Lone Ranger rides again."
Every week, the program started with those words.
But what I could never understand about every episode was that at the conclusion, 27 minutes and thirty seconds into the episode, somebody would always ask the question: "Who was that man?"
Someone else would always say, "Why didn't you know? He's the Lone Ranger!"
That is the way it used to end.
Now as a young kid it perplexed me that here was someone whose life had been saved, whose money had been restored, whose ranch and been protected ~~their whole lives had hung in the balance~~ and yet all the way to the end they didn't have the slightest idea who that man was. Why hadn't they asked at the beginning of the program instead of the end?
They would allow him to do all of this good stuff for them without ever knowing who he was.
It occurs to me that an awful lot of people in the world today react the same way to Jesus Christ and what He has done. It will be a tragic thing, the Bible says, when Christ comes again, .....for those who allowed Him to work in their lives but never really got to know Him.
At the end of the Lone Ranger when the question was asked it was too late for them. He was gone.
Don't let it be too late for you! Get to know Jesus Christ today!
