out of this world

Thursday January 6th, John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. In this world we are limited by time and space. We therefore forget that the God who created time and space is not so limited. In the beginning before the existence of time and space was God. In the end when there is no more time and space there will be God. In the middle where you and I live there is God. And this God brought life to all of mankind. Can you, who are less than God condemn any of your children? Could you who are less than God in the ability to love throw the switch that would bring on the death and eternal torment of one of your children? I wonder sometimes how it is so easy to attribute that barbarism then to God? Is it really who God is, or is it simply our projection? According to scripture, God brought light to the darkness. Perhaps even the darkness of the human heart can be penetrated by the love of God.
