God is often quite abstract quite for our minds, which is probably the reason why there are so many atheists around. They are trying to understand God from our perspective which is definitely hard or some might argue even impossible. God is someone beyond our dimensions, beyond our ability to understand, that’s why we need FAITH.

Here as interesting parable I once heard:

There were two twins in the mothers womb, Believing and Non-Believing, talking to each other:

Non-Believing: “Do you believe in life after birth?”

Believing: “Well of course, there has to be something after birth. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

Non-Believing: “Nonsense! There is no life after birth. What kind of life would that even be?!”

Believing: “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

Non-Believing: “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

Believing: “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”

Non-Believing: “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

Believing: “Well, I don’t know, but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”

Non-Believing: “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”

Believing: “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”

Non-Believing: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”

Believing: “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above. I believe our true life will start after birth!”

What about you, do you believe?

Now I am sure you all noticed the similarity between how this believing child views his mother and how we view God and life after death.

Lots of things we believe about life after death and God himself is impossible to logically explain because we live in a different world/dimension then God does. That’s also one of the reasons we are grateful for Jesus, that God himself sent his son to our world, that way we could understand God better. God walked among us and through that, and numerous other things Jesus did, showed us that He is with us, He didn’t forget us and He cares!
