He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)
Maybe the gospel of grace is too easy?
Let's put some impediments, some requirements. Let's make people swim a moat, or climb a rope to the very top, or scour some bathroom floors. Perhaps a ceremony will do?
No?
That's not God's grace you say? Oh,...
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
We are locked onto God's way...it's too easy, but that's what God did through Jesus Christ, and only His Son's work will do.
