John 6:53-64

"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him ... Does this shock you? ... But there are some of you who do not believe."

The world meant to be

I played this song on my audio system this afternoon and stood by the window looking up to the sky. The song "Utopia" is performed by Within Temptation and Chris Jones. The music video shows of a seemingly "guardian angel" walking on the streets, seeing all the problems in this world and eventually saving this kid from being ran over by a car.

Thoughts came to mind about the book of Genesis where the Garden of Eden was meant to be a perfect paradise, an Utopia of some sort created by God. The scenes in the music video depicted theft, drug trafficking, robbery and prostituting, where the "guardian angel" shed a tear upon witnessing the prostituting scene.

God created this world to be a paradise, but the human tendency has led us otherwise. At times, away from God. Would God feel sad seeing us hurting one another in one way or another, and behaving irresponsibly causing more harm to the environment in which we live in? I believe so, especially in how we treat one another who is a child in God's eyes.

So, here it is - "Utopia" by Within Temptation feat Chris Jones. Enjoy and God bless!
