All Matter Has Life
All matter has life! This might seem a strange thing
to say, but if you are a true Christian, in a few minutes you will readily
agree with me, and it will be obvious to you that this was the reality in which
Jesus lived and worked. What manner of man is this? The individual follower of Jesus
had reason to ask this question, over and over, until the day when he or she
finally came to realize that he was indeed the Jehovah incarnate; the very Son
of God; the Messiah. Jesus performed countless miracles, but the one below is
perhaps more special than the others, in a sense; 37 And there arose a great storm of
wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. In this miracle something happened that is
very important to make note of. It might have happened many times before and
perhaps after, but we have no recorded evidence of it; Jesus performed a
miracle by addressing inanimate objects; the wind and the sea. It is strange
that the disciples did not ask the question: How
can wind and water hear and obey the voice of Jesus? So
astounded were the men at what they had witnessed that they could only focus on
the miracle, and the man who performed the miracle. They totally forgot to ask
themselves how come wind and water, being dead, could hear the voice of Jesus -
and obey! The simple answer, of course, must be; the wind and water are not
dead at all; all matter has life! When the earth
was created, the same being, even Jesus,
(then known as Jehovah, a Spirit Son of God), commanded the elements, which
listened, and obeyed. This is obvious proof to the believer that all matter has
life. No matter how much Jehovah would have called out to dead elements, they
would have stayed in their place, the earth would have continued to be “without
form and void”, there would be nowhere to plant seeds, nowhere to place
animals, no place for a Garden of Eden, and man would never have been created.
When the disciples woke up Jesus, fearing for their life, if there was no life
in the molecules of the air and water – Jesus could have shouted until they
drowned, for dead things cannot hear, let alone obey! Knowing
that all matter has life strengthens our faith in God and his Son! Suddenly we can understand how come matter obeys the master. I, for one,
am absolutely convinced that all the natural laws are upheld as a result of the
particles obeying the commandments of Jesus. Scientifically there is a
beautiful explanation, but with other commandments it would have lead to the
need for other scientific explanations. What we need to know now is why the
elements always obey, when man so often disobeys the commandments of God. How
come man will receive the greater blessings knowing it is so?
