A Remedy to the Ditch
The ditch is a representation of hell. What then is the representation of heaven? A loop of His kingdom becoming true, that breaks our chains and makes us new.
Only God has the perfect perspective since He created us wonderfully and without Him we are nothing. In my previous post I mentioned the pit, and the only one that could pull us out of the pit is someone coming from above, isn’t that what God has done for us through Christ? He sent His Son in order to pull us out of the pit that we are in. Sometimes it becomes too dark that we even lose our senses and we don’t even know that we are in a pit. This is especially true when salt loses its flavor.
Luke 10:34 - And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luke 10:36 - Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
What then is the remedy? Isn’t it to push up people, and not drag them to the ditch? Because Jesus Himself came and pulled us out of the mire of our lives. He spoke life into us when we were spiritually dead, thus giving us life through reconciliation with God. That then is the solution to all this, to speak up and not condemn, to strengthen and not tear apart, because at the end of it all, so long as there is life, there is hope and new mercies daily.
Repeat this process enough times, and it creates an infinite loop of Jesus coming down to redeem us and lifting our neighbors up. Thus, we create heaven on earth. Then, maybe just maybe, we can be ready for His next coming, and we are not caught unaware when He does.
