#192 Lee Strobel & John Burke - The Resurrection

But what if I said to them, well, I'm actually not three slices, I'm actually one being. But that would be a contradiction to them because in Flatland, three slices can never stack up an arm into one being because that can only happen on a third dimension. They don't even have that dimension.

And so what I say is perhaps, and every analogy breaks down, so I'm not claiming to have the ultimate analogy, but perhaps... Father, Son, and Spirit, the personhood of God, unites in dimensions beyond ours in ways that sound like a contradiction to us, but in fact it's not. And that actually is what near-death experiences Tell us. I think that's fascinating, by the way.

But there are lots of mysteries. I mean, go try to understand quantum physics. Tried. Tried to understand my wife. No, I'm kidding. I'm going to tell Leslie you said that. She says that about me. Yeah, I'm sure she does. Well, and so, but think about it. Even what I told you before about Isaiah 53. To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

So Jesus, this suffering Messiah foretold, was the arm of the Lord reaching in, like me reaching into the flatland, right? And people, you know, skeptics have said over the years to me, you know, like, okay, you know, so Jesus is God, well then, and supposedly he died on a cross, then who is ruling the universe while he's dead, right? Or while he's here, right?

And again, that assumes that the infinite God who is spirit was somehow completely contained in the body of Jesus, and he wasn't. And that's not the claim of Scripture. So yes, just like I can reveal myself as a slice in Flatland, and they might even kill me in Flatland, but I'm much more than my little slice. Okay.

And that's why I think when he's saying I and the Father are one, it's really true. But God, and this is a phenomenal thing if you think about it, that God is love. And every bit of love we've ever experienced, it comes from him. We just borrow it.

So God is a relationship, and that's why relationship is so important to God. Not only God's relationship with us, but also our relationships with each other. And that is consistently, these near-death experiences around the globe, when they're in God's presence and they have a life review, they re-experience their lives.

But what they consistently say is, you know, what was interesting is the emphasis was on my interaction with people, not my accomplishments. And what consistently God wants them to see is that every little act of kindness mattered and every little mean thing mattered and it had a ripple effect through humanity.
