"my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy" - The Last Mystery of the Universe

Tokyo



The Last Mystery in the Universe


The mankind is the only living thing that has ability to think of God or the Creator of this world.

If an animal is put in a cage, it would not think who built the cage and why it was built.  But, human beings, in a sense, put in the earth can think who created the earth and why it was created.  And, some human beings have found the right answer: God created the earth to have the mankind emerge on it.

However, there are other people who do not admit that God created this universe, the solar system, and the earth.  They argue that this universe, the solar system, and the earth all came to exist by chance.  They might admit all the findings by scientists, but still they claim that  this universe, the solar system, and the earth all came to exist by chance.

Such people think that there is some mysterious mechanism that generated this universe.  And, the mechanism, they think, exists for itself.  But, they cannot answer why the mechanism exists or they simply assert that it exists by chance.  They think that ultimately everything, including this whole universe, exists by chance or everything is a product of randomness.

This way of thinking is dangerous, because it means that there is ultimately no value system.  There is no meaning in good and evil, since everything exists ultimately by chance.  Men get born, live and die for nothing.  Whatever they do, there is no authority in the universe that judges them.  In this thinking, everything has relative value, since there is no ultimate value system.  Accordingly, they will do any evil things behind the scene to satisfy their desire.

But if you believe that there is God behind this universe, you would like to know what God is.  If you believe that God created this universe, the solar system, and the earth for some purpose, you would like to know it.

And, the most reasonable answer is that God created this universe, the solar system, and the earth in order to create human beings thorough development and evolution of the nature of the earth.  It means that you admit that human beings belong to God.  Human being must follow the teaching of God.  And since God teaches men to live good, they will avoid evil things.

Now among human beings, there are two types of people: one denies God and another believes God.  However, a manner to deny God is not so simple.  There must be various ways and modes of denying God.  Likewise, a manner to believe God is not simple, either.  There must be various ways and modes of believing God.  For example, even the Pope might not believe in God.  Or, even some homeless people might believe in God.

God created this universe to create human beings and have them believe in Him.  And, if all the human being believe this truth, the purpose of God for creating this universe must be fulfilled.

But why does God do it?  It is the last mystery of the universe.

Mat 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Mat 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
Mat 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Mat 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
