Who’s Talking Now? That’s a great question! The answer seems to be “Everyone!”
We are in one of the most bitter and vicious presidential elections I have ever experienced in my seventy-seven years. Presidential candidates are constantly attacking each other. Everyone is talking. And not just talking. They are shouting, swearing, pointing fingers, name-calling, and even challenging each other to physically fight.
We can add incendiary media to that mix. The left-leaning media is culling out the most hurtful words and actions from the right-leaning candidates and displaying them on the national media. The right-leaning media is doing the same thing in reverse. It is ugly.
Who’s talking now? Everyone! BUT … Who is actually saying something worth listening to? Only One.
“Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways. In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son [Christ Jesus]. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe through Him. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” [Hebrews 1:1-4 HCSB]
Christ Jesus is talking now. He’s telling us He is Creator, Redeemer, Savior, LORD. He is declaring that He is our hope, our peace, our future. He reminds us that His Presence in our lives gives strength, courage, love, victory. He is our anchor in this storm, our anchor beyond the veil.
The great question is not, “Who’s talking now?” The great question is “Whom are we listening to?”
