Fear and trembling

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else" says C.S. Lewis.

Even though there are many philosophers who utter many wise words about our world, I have seldom found any that has corroborated what I have already experienced. Eventually the only world-view that actually described reality has I have experienced it was Christianity, and only in the light of the person of Jesus Christ did I actually comprehend what I have seen and experienced in my few years on earth. It is this coherense in the message and person of Jesus Christ, and the way the world appears to me, that makes me believe in the veracity of his claims. I guess that my meeting with Jesus was a meeting of wisdom, not a wisdom of false assurance, like that of the philosophers, but a compassionate and heavenly wisdom, that reminds us of our own ignorance. It was when I had glimpsed the heavenly that I might try to understand what the earthly means, and it awakens questions, questions that leads you on in exploring this world and what might come after. Jesus asked me questions, that birthed both confusion and intrigue. And once I started to ask myself those crucial question I could not turn back. One question after another lead me closer to God, gladly, but also with fear and trembling.
