Slaughtered Sheep

"The evidence of God's existence and His gift is more than compelling, but those who insist that they have no need of Him or it will always find ways to discount the offer" (Pascal, P, n.p.). 

Whether facts, books, historical evidence, or even miracles are given, the human is a stubborn creature on account of the fall. When there is the notion of free thought, freewill, human will there will always be choice and the choice to agree or disagree. Unfortunately our blind minds agree with that which fits our desires not which closely aligns with truth. Glimpses of truth are seen in everyday life but many humans mix and match these truths and create a false deity. They search truths without discovering where these truths even came from. In the words of our saving Christ, "They may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding" (Mark 4:12). Where there is sin or a fallible mind there will always be tainted truth and as a created creature ultimate truth can thus never be realized. Man needs an intercessor that reestablishes a kingdom of truth that we may follow. As so easily seen in mankind we are like sheep always needing a shepherd to follow whether it be science, philosophy, or even the human will to survive. And like sheep we are quickly preyed upon by false notions. "You give us as sheep to be eaten And have scattered us among the nations" (Psa. 44:11). As much as humans want to be declared free willed we find ourselves caught in the action of daily idolatry for we always need hope in something other than ourselves. "All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way" (Is. 53:6).
