Have you ever eaten something so hot that your mouth loses all sense of color and your eyes can’t breathe anymore? And you say Garth that doesn’t make sense…. well thats where we are going today

 

There are a lot of things that don’t make sense? 

God doesn’t make sense

There is no existent evidence of God… You can’t see him, touch him, taste him, hear him, feel him…

And in fact do we really know what A God is… how to define him? Do we really understand the concept of God. Oh we have volumes upon volumes of writings on the images, concepts and ideologies of who God is… but do we really know what we are defining or talking about or debating until wee hours of the evening… we might as well be jabbering over why squirrels are like the planet Venus. It makes no sense. There is just no proof, no facts. 

If God is the idea or concept of what we think of as God.. and yet our concept is still limited.. then we should have so much more illumination as to what and who he is. But we really don’t. Even if we take every word from every bible translation and from every Christian writer and file it under total recall… we still will not know God, or much about him. Again in light of what a God concept means.

And for that matter does anyone or any religion really know God or a God or anything truly about God. 

 

Look lets say there is a God… that doesn’t really help us much… because then it only leaves me with 29.3 million more questions.

If there is a God… why evil.

If there is a God… why not just show up and prove yourself

If there is a God… why don’t you answer my prayers

If there is a God… Why not kill all the bad people

If there is a God why did my sister die of alcoholism?

If there is a God why am I poor?

If there is a God why won’t you make my relationships better.

Why do the people who don’t believe in God seem to do so much better in life than me???

 

The concept of God just doesn’t make sense… it just doesn’t. Let me be very clear, I am a die hard, all out, 100%, bought by the blood, all in, sold out, on fire follower and disciple of Jesus Christ… THEE GOD!

 And yet I am telling you it doesn’t always make sense… most times not much at all… and I am ok with that. Why?

 

I do know for a fact that he loves us… This Jesus God/man in history is a proven fact. He was a real person, and wether you believe him to be God or not, he did in fact die on a cross because he loved us. And even if you think the concept of him dining for our sins is ludicrous - you gotta admit that he did do it because he loved us… God or not, thats pretty radical. 

 

I also know that 

I don’t have to understand him to know him… Do you think the friends of Einstein were as smart as Einstein? Einstein was quite a ladies man… do you think his girlfriends wore thick glasses, greasy frizzy hair, and read huge books… not for a second, but they were intimate with him. 

 

But here is the big reason, the main reason the maximum reason Im ok with God not making sense…

Yesterday I had an electrician come to our church and we met outside back in the property… 

The electrician opens up a huge electrical box, that says Danger, high power, high voltage, you might die, you are an idiot to tamper with this….and I find some calm gratitude that I do not need to know anything about this.. Rather someone much smarter will do what only he can do, and in a few hours we will have power and light. 

I was glad I didn’t have an electrician the same intelligence as me… or we all would have died… 

Im glad I don’t have a God the same intelligence as me… 

I find a deep satisfaction that I do not have a God I can figure out… for if I could, he wouldn’t be much of a God.
