What about Information / no need to run

Conversing 9-b

Imagine you are God, you created people and You want them to know You. How do you communicate that? 

CREATION.  ( accidental / random ) 

LAW.             ( impossible )

DISCIPLINE   ( harsh )

GRACE.          ( doubt free ) 

SON / REDEMPTION.  ( crucify, ignore, erase )

Amazing how that can be twisted …

INFORMATION 

John 1:1 ,in the beginning was the Word 

     Logos – God’s direct COMMUNICATION with us.,.

INTERROGATION 

John 18:33-38

Pilate – “ What is truth…? “

Romans 1:18ff

     18 The wrath of God

IS BEING REVEALED from heaven

against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness…..

PAUL talking about what Gospel reveals….

OUT OF THIN AIR 

Rabbit out of a hat – in spite of what our eyes tell us, what is our conclusion? 

POPULARLY POINTED TOO: 

Example – Sickle Cell Anemia & Malaria

      Mutation

      “ advantage “

      Less information

INFORMATION. ( God pointing? )

    Existed for 5000+ years…

    Discovered in 1980’s

          Fractals – Dr. Lisle 

               43:45 to 51:- ish 

               Around 18:20 ( abstract math and 

               physical world – why- same designer 

Conclusion

Illustration:

     Luther as boy begging for sausages

   15:hr 26 left

     Luther told story of childhood – begging for sausages as was common for children to do. One day a kindly man ran after the boys with sausages in his hands. Luther and friends ran FROM him thinking they were in some kind of trouble.

      That attitude followed Luther throughout his life, doubting goodness of God and others at times. 

? – what is God running after us and hold out to us… FOR US, and we run away?

NO NEED TO RUN!
