Have a Coke and a Smile
The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. (Colossians 1:26 NIV)
Locked away in a vault is the secret recipe of the original Coke (personally I hope they burned the “new” Coke recipe). Men have desired and sought out the mysterious and unexplainable combination of ingredients that have satisfied and quenched the thirsts of billions for nearly 130 years. The ingredients are not a secret; the whole world is free to read the side of the famous red and white can, “carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color….” Men have taken this knowledge and attempted to copy Coke but have failed miserably; it is the precise combination that remains a mystery. To the faithful, the connoisseurs of the caramel colored, sugar filled, liquid refreshment that is Coke there is no interest in knowing the secret recipe; it is a “Coke thing” and that is good enough.
The spiritual has its mysterious secret recipe as well; as with Coke, the “ingredients” are available for the world to see, but not for all to understand. Kept hidden, in the open, between the pages of the black, leather bound book on our shelves. Many have tried to copy the recipe and have failed miserably condemning billions to eternal hell. True believers, connoisseurs of “The Way” are privy to many of the secrets, but there are still those “God things” that to the true believer are good enough, we call that faith. Faith is the hope that one day we will fully understand the secret combination of ingredients, but until then “Have a Coke and a Smile.”
