Do You Think They Will Like Chocolate?

A cosmic, allegorical, Three-way conversation…

The Father (Chief Architect and Designer): “Well, it’s ready! By the way, they will eventually come up with an odd name for it, ‘The Big Bang.’ So…who wants to light it?”

The Son (Chief Engineer and Builder): “I enjoyed building it!”

The Holy Spirit (Chief Technician and Quantum Mechanic): “I WILL!”

Genesis 1:16-18 NASB God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; [BTW] He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.

John 1:9-14 NASB There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

“We’re talking about a lot of people on that tiny blue planet, Father. How are We going to keep them all occupied?”

“We will put it in the hearts of some to invent the wheel, others to discover electricity, and still others to achieve powered flight. Some will serve their fellow humans with nursing care and by performing complex surgeries. Others will love to entertain with dance, or by writing poems and children’s books, while others will inspire with the gift of making music. Some will have a passion to grow plants and harvest crops for food. Many will have the gift of working with their hands and go on to build houses and huge skyscrapers (not to mention My Tabernacle!) Others will thrill to explore Our magnificent creation – the home especially prepared for them all – through mathematics and science; they will build great ships and computers and rockets. Photographers, fishermen, truck drivers, soldiers, artists, lawyers, salespersons, dishwashers, stay-at-home moms. (Of course, We will call out apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers from among them). It’s a very long list!”

“But what about your Law and the free will prerogative? What if they make bad choices?”
