They say that once a woman near Las Moras made her daughter into a god.\u00a0 A cult grew up around her; her mother would take her around and have her prophecy for money.\u00a0 People would pay just to shake her hand, believing that it would bring them good luck.\u00a0 People followed her around and tuned into the shortwave radios where she would speak.\u00a0 They called her a “little god” because she was said to speak the words that belonged to THE God.<\/p>\n

Later, however, the girl’s mother was seen a town, eating shrimp with the money she had gained from her daughter’s fame.\u00a0 She had taken advantage of the situation and manipulated people for gain.\u00a0 Because of this, the cult followers were disappointed and began to lose faith.<\/p>\n

The people from this village were taken in because of their fear<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How different to think of THE God making his son into a person.\u00a0 He had nothing to gain by doing this.\u00a0 He healed the lame,\u00a0gave hope to the lost, and forgave the wretched, with no thought to himself.\u00a0 And when he prophesied everything happened just as he said, because he was THE God, made human to save the world.<\/p>\n

My heart is grateful for this truth, and hopeful that the Nahuatl will soon see it clearly.\u00a0 Man-made religions will always fail–human solutions will always disappoint.\u00a0 Only God can make a way for us to be at peace with him.<\/p>\n
