*Our Teacher* Part 2

"I love you at your darkest." Romans 5:8

God gives us free will. Man created computers that are programmed to make decisions that man wants them too. Our God did not make us computers rather gave us the freedom to choose which teacher we will follow. This is a his gift. It's up to us but he says, "The decision is yours but I love you and pray you follow the true teacher and not the false teacher who will lead you to your demise."

Let's say you have a classroom and God is the teacher. All of a sudden a rebellious student rises up and says God's teachings, of how to carry out Love in the world, are all false. This student takes a leadership role on the other side of the classroom. The student teaches lies of you will be happiest lying, cheating, stealing, doing drugs and having sex when ever and where ever you want. Some students follow the rebellious student and some follow God. God allows this because if he kicked the rebel out he would lose more students.  Instead God allows for students to watch the rebels teachings. At first they seem like the better choice but then the rebels students began to be self destructive. The students will learn and choose for themselves to follow the true God of Love or the Rebellious Student (Satan) the teacher that candy coats sin which leads to inevitable suffering! 

The Challenge: 

Sin looks pleasing and we all fall into the trap. It's our human tendency. As long as we claim Jesus as our one true  teacher then we will be less and less distracted by the teacher of lies.
