“This world is a great sculptor’s shop. We are the statues and there’s a rumor going around the shop that some of us are someday going to come to life.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
The world seems to be filled with living things. Creatures, humans, and various life forms provide evidence that we are indeed alive. At present, mankind continues to ask the most important question "what is truth?" Who will answer? Who will answer this same question that Pontius Pilate asked of our Lord. Moreover, we learned from this exchange that he had with Jesus that the Truth and the spirit are linked together. They are synonymous. The trouble with the knowledge of modern man kind is that we would like to commit to one of these and merely enjoy the other as it pertains to the status of our being. The notion that a designer of some sort exist, pertaining to our ability to enjoy this free will experience is looked upon as some trifle of selfish attribute. Thus a creator who 'claims' such love cannot be possible due to the fact that His restrictions within the confounds of freedom is unwarranted and therefore unnecessary. At which angle would the created be just to gain a clear perspective of the creator. Yet, in His grace He has even given His creation a measure to understand. Yet we choose to attempt to understand the measure, while simply finding grace a distraction. Thus, we run from Him and into the absent arms of our own understanding.
