“Awesome!”

I was speaking in a church in Arizona. As I left the motel to step next door for breakfast, a beautiful 1957 Chevy slowly drove past. It was a sight to see indeed. Stopping, a teenage boy stepped out, took a look at the car, looked at me, looked at the car again and then said, “Awesome, isn’t it, dude?” There are two problems with his statement. First, I am pretty sure that I am not a “dude,” whatever that means. Second, I am totally sure that the ’57 Chevy is NOT awesome. It was a pretty car, but there is only One Who is awesome! It is the Lord our God Who said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. I am He that lives and was dead: and, behold, I am alive for evermore” (Revelation 1:8, 18). He alone is awesome.
