We are all immersed in a vast sea of unseen forces. Can you see radio waves? Or, for example the magnetic fields by which the stars keep their ancient places? All around us, even going through our very bodies, are powerful emissions which we can detect only by instruments. Some radiation could destroy us before we ever felt it. Human perceptions are very limited. Even your cat can hear what you can’t. A snake can sight its prey in the pitch darkness. The first words Jesus said to His disciples were ‘Come and see!’ John 1:39. He came to make us see, and see in the dark. His concern was for things as vital to our lives as anything in nature. The great theme in John’s Gospel is inner sight, seeing more than meets the eye. Spiritual reality belongs to a different order. Physical eyes can’t discern the spiritual. John mentions that some witnessed Christ’s miracles and made nothing of them. Sheep ‘nourish a blind life within the brain’, someone said and people spiritually can be no better. The visible displays the invisible - ‘the heaven’s declare the glory of God’, but not to those without faith. Another thing is that at present the world lies in wickedness and spiritual darkness, which means that the unseen is doubly unseen. But here comes Jesus, and “in his light we see the light.” God bless you today. REINHARD BONNKE
