There were times when I actually did not want to tell people what was true. There was a temptation to just say, “take the blue pill.” Watching friends suffer because you showed them something is rough.
I imagine that the original 12 disciples wished they could go back to their delusional life a few times. Here is the problem, once you take the red pill, once you see the truth, there is no going back.
Paul was on the road, zealously doing what he thought was God’s will. He was largely blinded, but not completely. God strikes him physically blind until he allows the scales to fall from his eyes. That is literally what God wants to do for us. He didn’t just get his physical vision back, he gained spiritual vision.
What a crazy question! But that is the question, do you want to take the red pill or the blue pill? Do you want to be made whole?
That question is not as simple as it sounds. The light will always shine on your life. You don’t get to just gripe about the system. It will show you what you need to change.
The blue pill will protect the status quo in your life. It will leave you with at least the illusion of partial control.
The blue pill is very comfortable with man made religion, even if it is called Christianity. In some ways there is no greater delusion, because it pollutes, dilutes, and distorts the true Gospel.
The true Gospel is about moving from darkness into the light. The light reveals things, exposes things, whether we want to see them or not. It threatens relationships, divides families, ruins careers, leads to many insults…. (not always of course) |
