A Paradox is Born

In today’s message we will look at the paradoxical nature of
God’s kingdom on earth by comparing the logic and reason found in
the Bible with logic and reason commonly found elsewhere. At
first sight, many things in the Bible don’t seem to make sense as
we filter the information through the filter of human
understanding and reason. Consequently, it is important to judge
and interpret scripture according to the governing framework that
inspired the text. With God’s kingdom on earth it seems up is
sometimes down, and down is at times up. If we inject our notions
of up and down into the text we might potentially hurt our
relationship with God in the long run because we expect certain
things based on how we understand the text.
