C.S. Lewis speaks on Christ’s Return

August 10, 2012 by memullin

C.S. Lewis on the subject of the return of Christ:

When that happens, it is the end of the world. When the author walks on to the stage the play is over. God is gong to invade, all right: but what is the good of saying you are on His side then, when you see the whole natural universe melting away like a dream and something else – something it never entered your head to conceive – comes crashing in; something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left? For this time it will be God without disguise; something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature. It will be too late then to choose your side. There is no use saying you choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up. That will not be the time for choosing; it will be the time when we discovery which side we really have chosen, whether we realised it before or not. Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever. We must take it or leave it.
–Mere Christianity

    Good post! It just so happens that I’m reading “Mere Christianity” – again – right now. Outside the Bible, it’s my favorite book!

      I have been reading it too and really taking time to let the concepts sink in. I really enjoy it.
