“It’s All Uphill From Here”

 

For those of you that were at church with us yesterday this is somewhat of a repeat but I think it bears repeating.  In our world when someone reaches what is called middle aged it is said. that it’s all downhill from here.  Well I got news for you that you may have never thought about.  When we are conceived we are actually at the top of the hill and science tells us that when something is at the top and there is an angle of any kind that if you put a rounded object at the top it will roll down the angle.  Also when a woman is pregnant what does the doctor check for during the last days of the pregnancy?  He checks to see how far the baby has dropped, right?  As a baby in the womb you have not sinned therefore you are in the hands of God at the highest point of life.  On the day you are born then sin takes over and you begin your fleshly down hill roll.  Depending on many things around you including genetics and your surroundings will determine the angle of descent and the speed of your roll down that hill and the length of that hill. Some hills start at a small angle and the roll is slow and then they get over to the cliff and roll off of that cliff and begin a spiraling fall into the depths of life but before you reach the bottom of the pit there is Hope and when you accept that Hope which is Jesus Christ your fall will begin to slow and then it will stop and begin to go uphill again.  Although that uphill climb isn’t easy and it isn’t without pitfalls once you have accepted Christ you begin.  It is all uphill from here.

 

John 3

 

Key verse:

John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 3:17-19 (in Context) John 3 (Whole Chapter)
