The Ultimate Answer to Life the Universe and Everything

Nope it's not fourty-two.  What if it were just as ridiculous though?  What if it were just as unable to be proved?  What if you brought together all of the most brilliant minds of the world and they created a planet with the genesis device and then proceeded to set that planet up as a great bio-computer?
 And what if that computer promised in thirty-million years to deliver the ultimate answer to life the universe and everything but while it was busy contemplating Lord, Lunatic, Liar and dividing pi out to the millionth digit looking for patterns Jesus Christ came back in all of His Glory and every tongue confessed that He was Lord.  All the people that ever lived were judged and those who knew Him stayed with Him and all those who didn't know Him were sent away to hell to burn for eternal torment and death.

The message here is simple.  Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He is sent to redeem you from your sin.  It can't be proved.  It can't be figured out mathematically.  It's just True.  The proof is in the pudding.  When I follow Jesus I have love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (Galatians 5:22-23).  When I don't follow Him I'm just a self centered jerk.  That's it.  Get off yourself.  You may be your own undoing.

What if you sat all day translating something from ancient biblical Greek with contracted-verbs middle voices and everything else and all it said was Jesus Loves You.  I'm reminded of the code breakers during WWII.  They would decode a message only to learn that it's contents in German read something along the lines of, "You poor tortured soul destined to labor in vain for messages that aren't there."  Why search after vain truths and doctrines of men?  Get real with your faith.  Come to Jesus and come quickly.  You know He's True.  You've known all of your life but you won't get off of yourself long enough to admit it.

The True Gospel is simple enough for a child to understand and powerful enough to bring a full grown Klingon to His knees.  I know because it does me.  Now if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)  You are doing this because of your sin.  You know already that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life (Romans 6:23).  When you confess to Him that you need Him you are admitting that you are a sinner on your way to hell and that you want Jesus (the Son of God) to save you.  That's it end of story no complicated organic computer to figure it out.  It's as simple as ABC.
