"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause;
everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name
for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation,
but nothing escapes the Law."--The Kybalion.
Indeed, for every action there is a corresponding reaction.
What you sow, you reap.
Ours is freedom, but we cannot escape the consequences of our choices.
Why then was it so difficult to understand
that for every evil that you do,
evil awaits you
to bring you the just effect
of what you have done?
This is the Law.
An eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth.
Must you escape pain
when it is pain that you caused?
Must you escape death
when it is death that you deserve?
Yea, those who live by the sword
shall die by the sword as well.
And if this be so,
why then is it difficult to understand
that man in his fallen state
could not possibly redeem himself,
that man has defied God from the very beginning,
and from what he has done,
he shall reap what he has sown?
Why then is it difficult to understand
that though we deserve death
as we have without doubt caused it,
there is One who took the suffering
that was meant to be ours,
there is One who died for us,
for us who deserve nothing but death
for what we have done?
We cannot escape the Law,
but there is another Law which the God of Mercy instituted,
and by this Law of Love and Sacrifice,
it is God Himself who took the punishment that is due to man
so that in His Love,
we can find freedom from our own sins,
so that by the Blood of the Lamb,
instead of death,
we can find NEW LIFE!
