The Word of Relentless Love - Gospel of John EP01

People argue that there is no reason for faith, and thus it is unreasonable. And yet, there are all sorts of things for which we can find no reason, especially not with the scientific method. They’re all around us. Here are a few:

1. Love… At least not real love or the logic of love: self-sacrifice.

2. Beauty, what the Bible calls “the Good” or the “Glorious.” You can’t reason your way to Beauty.

3. Light. For light, there can be no temporal reason, but perhaps it is the reason for temporality.

4. Life. Darwin did not explain life, but death. Life is a communion of self-sacrifice.

5. Persons, Consciousness, Spirit. Even physicists will tell you that matter doesn’t matter, but you, the observer, do. That’s the “I” that observes “me.”

6. Existence. Not things in existence, but existence. Philosophers refer to God as the Uncaused Cause or Necessary Beingness (“ousias” in Greek). Yahweh’s name is “I Am that I Am.”

7. Reason. There is no reason for Reason. How could there be?

You can’t reason your way to reason; you can only arrive by faith — Faith in reason.
