“He has also set eternity in the hearts of men…” Ecc. 3:11
Is there any question that life has more to it than simply meets the eye? I think if we all honestly reflect on life there is something within us that tells us that there is something more…something beyond the physical.
If life is more than what meets the eye, how are we to fathom it; we can’t even make sense of all that we see with our physical eyes! My eyes take in some pretty amazing things everyday…The beauty of nature, the uniqueness of people, the knowledge of fellow humans written down. Go a little deeper, or should I say further, with our physical eye and it is truly mind-boggling. The complexity of the human body, the vastness of the oceans, and the seemingly infinite expanse of the universe…It’s all bigger and more complex than we can even comprehend!
Yet, as if that is not enough, there is something within me that says there is something more, something unseen, beyond the physical…something spiritual. If in fact this is true, that you and I are spirit, and there is a whole other realm to life; what is the consequence for us of that fact. Does the spiritual remain, and continue…is it “eternal”?? Is that possible? Is there a higher Spiritual Being, beyond us…Is it possible to know that Being?
Jesus says yes—Jesus tells us that through him we can know God…He tells us that true life is found in the spiritual, beyond the physical. (Jn 6:63) He tells us that Life is found in Him!
What does your heart tell you? Is there eternity within you? Is there an Infinite existence beyond the physical? Is Jesus the way to that Infinite existence?
Does thinking about this sorta freak you out…excite you?
Questions well worth asking I’d say…I’d love to read your thoughts.
The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
ReplyDeletethat's a lovely cliche...but how do you give life meaning?
