A very dangerous game - 21 April 2011 |
|
You really couldn’t write the script for this one.
On Monday it emerged that Christian electrician Colin Atkinson is facing the sack from his employer – a publicly funded housing association – “because he has a small palm cross in his company van.”
Then, the very next day, we learn that atheist artist David Mach will be “burning a sculpted head of Jesus” as part of an exhibition for which Edinburgh City Council is paying – wait for it – £115,000.
So, public money cannot be paid to a man doing a job who chooses to display a small, discrete 2000-year-old Christian symbol in his van. But public money (quite a lot of public money – how much of that £115,000 is David Mach receiving?) can by paid to an atheist who proposes to burn an effigy of the Saviour of the world.
In hundreds of thousands of years time, when the world is really starting to fill up with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea, I confidently predict that our brothers and sisters in Christ who are not yet born will look back to this week as a glittering example of the brazen hypocrisy and folly of the world we are now living in.
This nation needs to wake up to the fact that the Saviour of the world is also the Judge of the world. And Easter Day – when hundreds of millions of Christians all over the world will be celebrating the resurrection of the King – is just around the corner. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ will not be mocked. And I simply don’t know whether he is going to put up with this sort of nonsense for very much longer.
