Strange Things
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. – Colossians 2:16-17 NIKJV.
I like the way the NIV puts verse 17:
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. – Colossians 2:16-17 NIV.
Have you heard of Quantum Mechanics? I have heard of it but do not know much about it. Here are some other things related that you might not have heard about:
The Multi-Universe or the Multi-Verse
Cosmic Inflation Model
The Simulation Hypothesis: Are We living in Code? Are You Real?
The Pixelation of Spacetime
Planck scale
The Holographic Principle
I had not heard of most of them either, but you can find out more about these things at 25 science theories that are so strange they must be true by Jonas S.
It is hard for me to wrap my mind around some of the things that scientists are now saying might be true. I’m glad my professor that taught the philosophy course I had to take in college did not know about any of this. Why? Because he could have really messed up my mind if he knew about these things!
There are a lot of things that most of us will never understand fully and I doubt anyone will. If we are living in a Multi-Universe which reality, are we living in and can we be shifted into another reality?
Personally, I am not going to worry about those things because I believe I am in the hands of my Lord and Savior and someday, some bright shining day my reality will be shifted from Planet Earth to Heaven above. I love what the apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 2:17: These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
If we know Jesus as our Savior where or what is our reality? Colossians 2:17 tells us that our reality is in Jesus Christ. My reality since coming to enter into the reality of eternal life through Jesus Christ has been an adventure. It has been a great adventure with things happening that I never thought would occur.
When I was a boy, and when I was a teenager, I could not imagine any of this. I was thinking about it one day at a church camp when I was 14 years old. I was invited to go to a church camp by the church where I was a member. It was an exciting event. While there at the camp, I believe God was speaking to me trying to get my attention.
I remember being off to myself sitting on a picnic table one afternoon. The surroundings were beautiful in a place called Devil’s Canyon, although I think they have a different name for it now. While sitting there I began to think about my future life. What would happen? Where would I go? What would I do? At the time I didn’t think that I would go to college. I thought I would most likely get a job, marry, and have a family. I wanted to make a lot of money and start a business. Then, I would retire early and live on all the money I had made and enjoy life. Finally, as I was looking into the future, I arrived at death. I couldn’t see anything after death, it was just black.
After I have come to know Jesus as my Savior I can see beyond death to Heaven above and know that I have an eternal future. What about you? What will be your reality after death? Please don’t miss out on the glorious future that our loving God can give you. Jesus tells you what to do in John 14:6 as He says “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 3:16 tells us to “believe” upon Jesus Christ to have eternal life.
