What was once a spider’s trap has now become a concern of worldwide proportions. Due to the amazing potential for profit on the Web and the continuing proliferation of technology into the home, a daily concern seems to be, “Are you connected?” Everybody’s definitely gone surfin’, and not just USA but every other country that’s ever heard of a computer. No matter where you look, the impact of the Internet is undeniable.
As connection vendors try to scramble and jingle their way into your homes, a more important connection that’s been available for nearly two thousand years continues to be little utilized or put completely by the wayside.
At the start of the first millennium, without press releases or Initial Public Offerings, a child of twelve proclaimed that he came to carry out his Father’s business. That business wasn’t one that came with a stock plan either. The work that Jesus Christ accomplished in a short period of time stands without comparison. The access that he made possible hasn’t been plagued by bugs of even two millennia.
With unwavering commitment to his Boss, Jesus Christ put together a connection package requiring no monthly payments. Because his Boss was willing to foot the bill of a large one-time payment, the access for all new customers is free. Even AOL can’t compete with that!
A key selling point of the Internet peddlers is the lure of access to vital and profitable information via their connection. Jesus Christ connected man to the very Creator of the heavens and the earth. On the odd occasion, that might prove to be more vital and profitable than a few documents.
Do you think that God might just be a little more powerful and have access to more useful information than the hottest search engine out there? How do topics like “Eternal Life”, “A Solid Marriage”, “Perfect Peace”, “Answered Prayer” and “Access to Deliverance” sound to you? That’s a heck of lot better than hanging out with the local Internet junkies at the Carpal Tunnel Bar & Grill. And check out the ad from the Supplier: “Server never goes down. Quick easy access. Reliable connection. Security guaranteed. Account prepaid for life.”
Sound too good to be true? Actually it is true and it is definitely good. So key in Romans 10:9, get connected and start surfing. I guarantee you’ll be shouting “Yahoo!” before you know it.
