Understanding but hard to accept

Have recently attempted to write an explanation of the oh-so-controversial topic of predestination to a group of young, adolescent Christians. Whilst the ending result was 3x A4 pages, the real challenge is trying to compress that into a suitable 2 minute explanation without leaving out the important stuff.

I guess I cheated a bit, by asking the recently-appointed Associate Pastor (Moore College trained, thank you very much) what his thoughts were.

This was probably the first time I remember hearing this topic explained so matter-oh-factly, without any hesitation and such confidence.

I've probably been trying to avoid the idea of explaining or addressing such a topic, but the truth of the matter is.....this question is what these young, adolescent Christians want answered. Some may understand it, but find it hard to accept. Others may not understand it at all so need the understanding, and others simply like to throw such challenges to the leaders and sit back and watch them either float, swim or drown.

It all comes back to the acceptance of God being God. That is, letting God be God. He is perfect in all ways, always just, always faithful to those who love Him. We are but mere, ordinary, selfish "mushrooms" that God has extended the invitation of eternal life with Him in heaven to. The choice is ours, and the choice we make, God will act accordingly.

As for trying to accept the ways and things that God does, which we may find to be unjust......who are the "mushrooms" to question God and what He does?
