Of Things Seen and Unseen



"We are under the illusion we know everything.We think we know the reason behind every secret,behind every miracle."
(a quote from Acharya Rajneesh,philosopher).
Man,in his arrogance, believes that if he or science cannot prove the existence of something,then it cannot possibly be real.Perhaps we have been spoiled,modern technology in recent decades has discovered things about this planet and creation that were previously unknown.In addition,we have also made incredible technological advances.Repeatedly in the media we see and hear the mindset in regards to matters of faith; "if we can't see it, then we won't believe it."
Scripture tells us that there are some things we won't have a concrete explanation for,we read: "we walk by faith,not by sight," and, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen." Protestant theologian John MacArthur writes,"True faith is not based on empirical evidence but on divine assurance and is a gift of God." May Our Lord provide us with the opportunity to proclaim our faith in things not yet seen to those He brings our way.
