Is God better than sex?

If you had a choice between one day with Jesus and one day with the man or woman of your sexual dreams, whom would you choose?


Of course, the logical, theological answer would and should be Jesus.  But is that how you really feel? 


It's easy to see the beauty and attraction of a gorgeous woman or handsome man.  The desire he or she arouses is tangible.  But what about God?  Even He said it wasn't good for the first man to be alone. Is there a pleasure men and women bring each other that even God can't bring?


It is written,
"In Your Presence, there is fullness of joy.  At Your right hand are pleasures evermore."


Complete Joy.
Eternal Pleasure.


Can any man or woman make and keep that promise?
That's what the adulterer and the adulteress suggest. 
The adulteress says, "In MY body there is fullness of joy, under the authority of my sexuality there are pleasures ever more."
But can she make good on her promise?


It is also written,
"Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart."


But will He?  And when He does, will it be better than sex?


Ask the Seraphim, the fiery angels before God's throne in the book of Revelation.


They never stop bowing, worshipping, and praising God, crying "Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. The whole earth is filled with Your Glory."


From the beginning of time, the Seraphim have been ceaselessly worshipping God.


Think of the most sexually attractive man or woman you can imagine.  Do you believe he or she would be so arousing that you would bow down and ceaselessly worship him or her?  All the Seraphim are doing is SEEING God.  Just the sight of Him inspires constant worship.  We aren't talking about actual contact with God. They aren't touching Him.  They are simply seeing Him as He is.  They never stop worshipping.


No man or woman, no matter how arousing, inspires this kind of worship.


God is infinitely better than sex.
