Bringing Sexy Back


Forget about Justin (although I have to admit I'm a fan), Jesus was the one who brought sexy back.

Think about it. Since Day 1 (meaning Gen. Chapter 1) the purpose of God's creation of man kind was for connection. We were in the garden and the word says that we were in constant connection with God. This all soon changes when disobedience took place therfore bringing disconnection. The curse or punishment was disconnection not just from God but also between the Earth and each other. God created the disconnection, but he didn't leave without a way to reconnect.

Our sexualtiy is what He left us with. Think about it. When we follow after just the sexual act of physical sex we are attempting to connect with a person on he most intimate levels. Sex creates a euphoria that brings momentary joy are pleasure. But this euphoria is not just limited to physical sex, some people have even said that there are natural chocolates that give you a rush that is simiular to orgazism. Our sexuality is our ablity to connect to the world around us and enjoy it. This is what separates us from animals and angels. Neither one was created like us. Animals have sex but is is nothing more than an instinctive act that only results in procreation. Angels don't have sex but they have a permanent connection to God, but man was given both.

So let me finish. Man was disconnected but he left us with a connection and that is our sexuality. Our sexuality is two fold. It is being aware of our disconnection, but it is our attempt to reconnect to our world and enjoying it. This is why sexulaity cannot be limited to sex itself. The cool summer breeze on your face is sexy. A man holding a newborn baby is sexy. A woman holding a puppy licking her face is sexy. A walk on a beach barefoot is oh so sexy. These things give us a euphoria that compares to nothing else, and it is great. These things help us enjoy the things that God created just for our pleasure. The bible says that "all things were created by Him, for Him"(
Colossians 1:16). That means everything.

Jesus came to reconnect us. Not only did He come but He died and rose as proof of the reconnection.
