Man is of the soil.
God is of the sky.
In the valley men toil.
While God reigns down from a high.
We of the earth.
God is of the mountain.
We are fallen, sinful, hateful and selfish.
God is perfect, pure, loving, and generous.
We are born and die.
God’s days are without beginning or end.
We are broken and corrupt.
God is holy and just.
How do we reach God?
How do we climb out of the valley unto His Mountain?
The fact is we must be good to ascend.
The tragedy is we are not.
No man can climb those heights.
That is our curse.
The Good News is that no man need climb those heights.
Knowing man could never reach Him and wanting to be with man nonetheless, God came down to man.
Knowing no man could seek and find His Face, God revealed Himself to man.
The God of the mountain descended down into the valley of men.
He did not do this so that man could remain in the mud and filth of his own making, but that man may ascend on high with God Himself.
He is with us now, asking, beginning, enjoining us to join Him.
To leave this fallen world of pain and hate for a world of love and beauty beyond all comprehension atop that High Hill seems too good to be true.
The truth is, it is too good and in that lies its truth.
This is the greatest myth ever told.
It is the greatest not simply because it is true, but because in it lies the Truth itself.
