The other day, in the break / lunch room at work, on the free table, a large chocolate cookie was placed there in a sandwich bag. And it sat there from 10 AM break until 3 PM break and no one would touch it.
So I waited as I wanted to hear the reasons from the fellow employees why they did not take the big chocolate cookie. So one reason was presentation. It was dark and was chocolate stain on the clear plastic sandwich bag. The worst critical remark that I heard was it look like a small pile of waste. He obliviously was not hungry, nor wanted a chocolate cookie, So it failed in presentation.
Then came the second thought / comment information. Someone said well, who left it there?? Who placed the cookie there?? Some employee's names was mentioned and it was from certain people then NO - WAY would they take the free gift. SO information failed the free gift.
So the presentation was bad and the information wrong, so the big chocolate cookie was rejected.
As I pondered this in my mind, God started to speak to heart and mind.
The world and mankind will reject the free gift from God. as we read in the bible, Ephesian 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast.
God has provided a free spiritual and eternal gift to man, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 316
And many will look at the presentation of Jesus and reject Him, then other will hear the Biblical information and reject Him. They will reject Jesus as they did a free cookie.
I could spend more time here on the rejected presentation and information for Jesus, but I will declare truth base on the Word of God, the bible. He came unto His own and His own (people) received not, they also said can any good thing (person) come out His country that He was from ??
God in the flesh, human form, His son Jesus Christ came into this world to seek and to save that which was lost, see Luke 19:10 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14
So Dear friend, please look at the Son, His Son, Jesus Christ as He is presented to you. Then hear what we have said, what His believers have said, and hear the information, the by faith accept it, to become saved / a child of God, for with the heart man believes and with mouth confession is made unto salvation, For whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved!!
