Speculation

Sunday June 25th, Job 38: Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said: "Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Luther speaks of the two kingdoms, the kingdom up there somewhere, hidden from our eyes and hearts, and the kingdom reveled, the one shown to us by the life and teachings of Jesus. Sometimes we like to spend our time speculating about the kingdom up there, all we end up with is a headache, and a bunch of wild speculation. Living in our life as we do in a three dimensional world, we have tried to speculate the things of God. Mathematicians have calculated the existence of up to a fourth, fifth, sixth, and even up to an eleventh dimension, but even armed with that knowledge, we still only live, breath, exist and think in a three dimensional world. It is kind of hard to speculate all the reasons of God with odds like that. For us, there is the kingdom revealed, what we know of God, all we need to know of God, we find in Jesus. Anything more is pure speculation.
