Just another day at the office?

By Dr. Dan Haffey

During Pastor R’s sermon on Sunday, my thoughts turned to the soldiers and the Cross. The soldiers were totally unaware of the cosmic event of redemption that was unfolding above them in the person of the dying Christ. For them, it was “another day at the office” and they continued without awareness to do what they naturally did….give expression to their flesh in gambling for Christ’s clothes.  So near, yet so far from the reality of salvation…they didn’t get it.

Before I cluck my tongue at these pagans, I wonder how aware are we of the spiritual realities going on around us as we have “another day at the office.”  The cosmic battle for the souls of men continue, the war between the flesh and the Spirit wages on, and the voice of God is speaking to us but is unheard over the din of our daily business.

Maybe we need to look up daily and see the Cross and see the struggle as God unwraps His redemption in our lives……just some thoughts.
