Once again C.S. Lewis has struck me with his writing in Mere Christianity. This statement was so powerful I only want to say one thing before you read it. Are you ready for the final act and if not, can I help you be ready? A choice needs to be made and we don’t know when the last act will finish so we need to be ready.
When the author walks on to the stage the play is over. God is going 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 chose 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 discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realized it before or not. Now, today, this moment, is our change to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last for ever. We must take it or leave it.
