At first glance, one might have the sensation that this is another sermon ordinarily offered at your Sunday or Saturday pulpit by the ‘Man of God’ as it were! Well, it is not! First and foremost, it is imperative that we try to consider our position here, we are a people of diverse colors and languages and for that reason, Christianity must be vested in a new vesture to fit the times, discoveries and understanding!. Our cultures are so enormously diverse but all the cultures mostly point to our growth ere here on earth from birth to death. There is something akin to a similarity of the same origin for all humanity that points to ‘beyond here.’ The fundamental question is why are we really here? Why were our ancestors brought to this planet in the first place? We can also twist the query to be inclusive of creation.
Out there in the vast universe (we acknowledge it is vast), is God-Supreme and gods depicting the power of light and darkness, good and evil. The whole universe is watching the earth which is the battle field between good and evil, love and hate, light and darkness! E. G. White calls this occurrence “The history of the great conflict between good and evil,…” (Patriarchs and Prophets vol. 1 pg 2 [33]).
