It is said that our eyes will process 24 million images in our
lifetime. Overall, our eyes contribute towards 85% of our total knowledge. Such
analysis and information are incredible. It is amusing to observe that man
thinks of himself as a creator, and it extends to mother, the earth, the
creatures, as gods. Anything beautiful or close to human image is seen as god.
Sadly, anything other than the true living God is worshipped and adored.
Irrespective of our eyes processing knowledge, improving our intelligence, yet
the human heart foolishly tries to find god in the material world and through
the self-made religion.
Brian Zahnd states beautifully, "We’re so enthralled by the material world that we have ceased to believe in any other world." Only a true god, not a whimsical one, can design the planet and humans so artistically. Many images our eyes have captured tends to deceive our mind and forces us to make sense from what we see and not understand the existence of fact and truth about the true God. As we are so familiar with all the inventions that has happened so far concluding that God is the invention of science and man's portrayal of a god which is displayed as characters painted by Him under the category of religion and creeds.
The meta-physical (spiritual) world is not left under man's assumption. It is just that the people are not willing to accept the true God who existed and is still existing. Humans have the privilege of finding Him through the facts available in the Bible about Jesus, whose birth, life, death, and resurrection are open facts available all over the pages in history and adopted based on faith. He is expelled today because people have boxed Him under a religious bracket and assume He is a “Christian” God.
People are unwilling to read, find the truth available in the scriptures and in the facts of history. On contrary, we want to remain in what is been followed over ages and based on the so many faith system in a particular country. How could there be a god existing within a geographical region and left to people fighting it out to enforce it by hurting one another?
The metaphysical world is not all about making us happy in this life but in finding the one who has the answer to life after death. It is not because Jesus claimed this bold statement which says, "I am the way truth and the life" but He is gauged by the brilliant birth, death, and resurrection. No one in history was born, lived, and died like Him which speaks volumes. If science for example, found out something that can keep a man alive and succeeds, then people will want it at whatever the cost. But here is a God who raised people from death and was resurrected as a person. He claimed that “I am the way of life” simply means it is an invitation to find forgiveness from all the sins one has committed, and life transformed because of believing and accepting Him as a saviour. Many have found hope in Him, their life transformed and have a story to tell. The hope to live forever in heaven with Him is the greatest accomplishment and assurance one can find while following Him without the need to convert to any religion.
