Many people will come to me and want me to prove the existence of God; they ask me to defend God to them. This is the case of a large portion of society, young and old.
I simply tell them that God is not in need of defense; he certainly does not need my poor words and poorer thoughts to express his majesty, his truth.
God can defend himself. In fact He already has. His great defense comes when the Risen One, Jesus Christ, reveals his wounds in the upper room; as Jesus stood before those gathered and exposed his wounds, he issues his defense statement.
God doesn't ask us to defend him. He simply ask us to stand by him and to believe what his wounds tell us, we will not die.
We will not die because He does not die.
As Christians the more we ponder this truth, the more we ponder the great defense of God in the wounds of Christ, the more we will have life.
We will not die, we eat the bread of life, we now have a reason to take a stand for life.
