I Don’t Know why so many cannot see the Cause of our ultimate Fear.
I do know, we all fear what we know we deserve.
We see everywhere, a Law of Opposites.
We see everywhere, a Law of Cause and Effect.
We see everywhere, Good and Evil.
We Know that we have caused Good, and caused Evil.
We Know that we have received Effects of Good, and Evil, that we have done.
We don’t Know, if we will receive all the Effects we deserve, before we die.
We do Know an ultimate Fear… that we may receive Effects we deserve, after we die.
We fear what we Know we deserve. So we never feel wholly Free.
Jesus the Saviour releases all mankind from this ultimate Fear.
When we see what we really deserve. And, believe His promise.
That He already suffered for us, all the Evil Effects that we still deserve.
I am enjoying this Christmas day.
