" ....... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
John 14:6

Lately I've been reading C.S Lewis's "Mere Christianity"......and in the chapter 7 titled, Let's Pretend. He says"...to make a shot at saying your prayers: and whatever else you say, you will probably say the Lord's Prayer.

Its very first words are Our Father. Do you now see what those words mean? They mean quite frankly, that you are putting yourself in the place of a son of God. To put it bluntly, you are dressing up as Christ. If you like ,you are pretending. Because, of course, the moment you realise what the words mean, you realise that you are not a son of God. You are not being like The Son of God, whose will and interests are at one with those of the Father: you are a bundle of self-centered fears, hopes, greeds, jealousies, and self-conceit, all doomed to death. So that in a way, this dressing up as Christ is a piece of outrageous cheek, But the odd thing is that He has ordered us to do it."

It made me think how awesome and kind our God is to have shown infinite mercy to this sinful mankind !!!

As I read on C.S Lewis's continues to explain how we are to put on Christ....He says"....Christ stands beside you to turn you into one. Is not that how a higher thing always raises the lower? A mother teaches her baby to talk by talking to it as if it understood long before it really does."

Now we can be joyful knowing the fact that we are not alone giving a shot at being a Christian in this wicked world, literally I say see in your mind's eye Christ is right beside us helping us... now is'nt that wonderful!!!
