A Car Alarm With Skin On It

Jesus - despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, he knew grief, one from whom men hide their faces, despised, we did not regard him highly.
I was with some friends the other night. The adults stood around talking while the kids chalked the windows of one of one of the cars. My friend thought it would be funny to hit the alarm button on his key chain. He said "watch this!" To his dismay, the kids were not even phased by the alarm.
I remember being around when car alarms first came out. Not many cars had them installed. When you heard one, everyone stood around and looked at that car. I remember being in a mall parking lot one time and there must have been 20 people standing around staring at the car to see what was happening.
Now we are numb to it. How much is our spiritual life like that car alarm. Do you know that God continually seeks you? Do you know that the whole earth is full of His Glory? Do you know that the Holy Spirit still convicts of sin?
We have made Jesus a car alarm with skin on it.
How do we allow ourselves to become numb to the power of the cross?
A better question is WHY do we allow ourselves to become numb?
Never get over Him.
Never get over the power of God.
