Vindication

I recently went to Reddit.com (my 1st time on the news site actually). It was interesting to me that one of their top trending discussion topics is 'atheism'. As I read one of the threads, I initially felt angry at all the comments comparing Christianity to 'intellectual suicide' and the like. "It's like they think that Christianity is only a crutch for the the cosmically stupid" I said to myself. Part of me wanted Jesus to come back, even in that moment, to vindicate my belief system and worldview. I think Christ sort of whispered into my ear that this is the wrong way of looking at it. Because eternal vindication of my worldview is coming, but it's not going to be this moment of "aha! See I was right and you were wrong!" On the contrary, it's going to be with supreme sadness that all of these folks on the atheism forum confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. God will not always be mocked. But that moment of vindication will really be more full of sadness than joy. Oh Lord, that you would enable those that mock you to see the light and repent before that day of reckoning.
