Unexplainable

I love Ravi Zacharias.  Just listening to him makes me feel smart.  His podcasts are always enlightening, and usually a bit confusing.  I am currently reading a book by him titled The Real Face of Atheism.  It, like the podcasts, has a vast amount of vocabulary I am not familiar with.  However, his point still remains clear.  Atheism, and science in particular, never take solid steps with their logic.  The world we live in is too complex, too awe-inspiring to just wipe away the possibility of a creator. 

A quote by Aldous Huxley found at the beginning of the second chapter caught my attention.  "Science has 'explained' nothing; the more we know, the more fantastic the world becomes, and the profounder the surrounding darkness."  What peaked my interest about this quote is the truth it holds for science and creation, but for the very nature of the God we serve and worship. 

I like to think I know God.  But I don't.  I go to class after class learning how to study the Bible better, how church history effects us today, even how to read Greek.  I have three Bibles in my room and countless versions accessible online, yet I still don't fully know God.  He is the great mystery. Yet he came to us in the most recognizable of terms. As man!  He was one of us. 

It seems the more I discover, the more questions I have.  Yet, I am oddly comfortable with this.  Think about it.  Imagine a god which could be completely figured out and understood by human thought.  No thanks.  Instead I put my hope and faith in Him.  In the Father I can't fully grasp, in the Son who was killed for living perfectly, and in the Holy Spirit who I can't see.  I am thankful for the God who is unfigureoutable.  I am so grateful for a God who works in unexpected ways.
