Rather, we need to be open to learning about the most remarkable man who ever lived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes, it means making time in our busy lives to read and review our view of the world. <b>It\u2019s much simpler to follow along with the views of Stephen Hawking and others<\/b> who deny the notion of a creator God and overlook the observations of other high-level scientists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For example, Dr HF (Fritz) Schaefer, one of the world\u2019s leading quantum chemists has made this comment about the late Stephen Hawking\u2019s view of God. In <i>A Brief History of Time<\/i> Hawking wrote: \u2018We are such insignificant creatures on a minor planet of a very average star in the outer suburb of one of a hundred billion galaxies. So it is difficult to believe in a God that could care about us or even notice our existence\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In his book <i>Science and Christianity: Conflict or Coherence?<\/i> Schaefer writes: \u2018My response to that statement by Hawking, and to others that have said this over the years, is that that&#8217;s a silly thing to say. There isn&#8217;t any evidence to date that life exists anywhere else in the universe. Human beings, thus far, appear to be the most advanced species in the universe. Maybe God does care about us! Where Hawking surveys the cosmos and concludes that man&#8217;s defining characteristic is obscurity, I consider the same data and conclude that humankind is very special\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In chapter 6 of his account of the Jesus Story, the writer John records another <i>sign<\/i> pointing to the uniqueness of Jesus. Following his provision of enough food for a crowd of five thousand from five barley loaves and two fish, Jesus saw that the crowds were planning to make him king. He had therefore slipped away, alone back up into the mountain (6:15). The disciples had taken a boat without him, to cross the Sea of Galilee towards Capernaum some five miles away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was a night crossing and strong winds caused the waters to rise. This is something that often occurs here. The lake is six hundred feet below sea level and strong winds blow up from the south-eastern plains, causing the shallow waters to rise quite quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>When the disciples had rowed three or four miles they saw Jesus, <i>walking on the sea and coming near the boat<\/i>.<\/b> John records <i>they were frightened<\/i> (6:19). <i>\u201cIt is I\u201d<\/i> \u2013 literally, <i>\u201cI am\u201d<\/i>, Jesus assured them. <i>\u201cDo not be afraid\u201d<\/i> (6:20). Relieved, they took him into the boat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was another amazing event \u2013 Jesus, walking on water \u2013 pointing to someone who was truly human and yet who could act outside the laws of nature. It was either a lie that John, and Matthew (14:22-34) and Mark (6:45-52) had fabricated, or it is another event that exemplifies the observation of Dr. John Lennox that we have already noted: \u2018From a theistic perspective, the laws of nature predict what is bound to happen if God does not intervene\u2026 To argue that the laws of nature make it impossible for us to believe in the existence of God and the likelihood of his intervention in the universe <i>is plainly false<\/i>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Having arrived in Capernaum, John records that the crowds again found Jesus. We read his cryptic comment: <i>\u201cVery truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you<\/i> (6:26-27).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2018What you have to realize,\u2019 Jesus is saying, \u2018is that <b>there are two kinds of bread<\/b>. The bread that sustains our physical bodies which one day will die, and another bread that sustains our spiritual existence: a life that will last forever\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2018However,\u2019 Jesus continues, \u2018because you are focussed on the physical bread, you are materialists. You enjoyed the benefits of lunch in the open and were excited about it. But you missed the real meaning of what happened. You enjoyed the benefits of the miracle, but you didn\u2019t see the sign.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When he looked out on the crowd that day, Jesus didn\u2019t just see people who were hungry for physical food, but people who were searching in vain for something to satisfy the spiritual vacuum in their hearts. <b>He didn\u2019t just see empty stomachs: he saw empty souls<\/b>. The miracle of turning the loaves and fish into sufficient food to feed the crowd was a sign of his capacity to feed our deep spiritual hunger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the final analysis, material things cannot satisfy our deep longings. And so Jesus reminds us that we do not live by bread alone. Life is more than physical food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Words such as these prompted people like Karl Marx to insist that religion is the opiate of the poor to keep them content with their lot. Jesus disagrees: materialism is a drug anaesthetizing men and women to the reality of spiritual things. True and lasting contentment, satisfying the depths of our souls, can\u2019t be found in materialism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Think how often we look for new clothes and the latest electronic gear. Our appetite for things is insatiable. No amount of physical \u2018bread\u2019 will satisfy our spiritual need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jean-Paul Sartre\u2019s words referenced above, express our frustration with painful honesty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Teacher in <i>The Book of Ecclesiastes<\/i> says God has put eternity into our hearts. But Jesus alone claims to meet that spiritual longing. <i>\u201cI am the bread of life,\u201d<\/i> he says. \u2018Anyone who comes to me will never go hungry. Anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s vital we see this. The story of Jesus and the signs he carried out, point to a greater reality about him and about us. He is the wholly good, all-powerful and compassionate Lord who has come among us to serve us. <b>His words reveal that we are much more than the sum of our parts<\/b> \u2013 our brain and heart, our body and our limbs. We are made for relationship \u2013 with our creator and with one another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <i>bread<\/i> Jesus offers awakens us to our deeper need \u2013 to feed on the one who can offer us life by restoring our relationship with God and learning to love one another. In him we find true hope for the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Prayer.<\/b> Lord our God, fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: have compassion on our infirmities; and those things which for our unworthiness we dare not and for our blindness we cannot ask, graciously give us for the worthiness of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;40px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p class=\"p1\"><strong>\u00a9 John G.
