               In order for a human to see there must be light.  Light enters the cornea, then the pupil.  Depending on the amount of light the pupil will either dilate or contract.  Still with me?

               Facts about light:

-1905 all physicists knew without a doubt that Light originates at a source, spreads out evenly and continuously through all spaces accessible to it.

-Light travels 670,000,000 miles per hour.

-When Light hits something it either; bounces off, passes through, or is soaked up

-The speed of Light is affected by the medium through which it travels.

-When Light hits a mirror it reflects Light in exactly the same pattern in which it arrived. 

               In school we were taught a Newtonian understanding of the universe. Huh?  Cause and effect. Oh yea!  Isaac Newton proved that the universe is governed by a set of rules…. Or is it?  For instance, if you are running 5 mph and are being chased by a dog who is running 10 mph the dog is gaining on you at 5 mph.  This is Newtonian physics.  So if you are driving in your car and a photon of light is following you at 650,000,000 mph and you are driving 100 mph how fast is the light gaining on you?  How about if you were driving 1000 mph?  How about 10,000 mph? (Don’t try to answer this it is a trick question.)

               The answer is 650,000,000 miles per hour…. No matter how fast you are going light will still be gaining on you at 650 million miles per hour.  In 1915 Albert Einstein declared that, “Light simply does not follow the rules?” Are we even talking about light anymore? 

               The Bible describes Jesus as the Light….Weird! We know that when Light hits something it bounces off, passes through, or is soaked up.  Huh. It’s kind of like when someone encounters Jesus. I mean it either bounces off because something in their life, or some experience has made them just not interested.  It is soaked up, because they need Jesus so bad, but they don’t think they are worthy to share him with anyone else. Or, Light hits someone like my wife, and it passes through them.  Others see the light.

               Light is also affected by the medium in which it passes through.  Uh oh!  For instance, people who know me, who know my past, who know my heart, know that Light does not always show through me.  You see, some mediums distort the light.  They turn a beautiful light into something different.  They might not mean too, but their imperfections distort the light.  It happens.

               A mirror reflects Light in the EXACT same pattern in which it arrived.  Jesus was a mirror.  Jesus and only Jesus showed mankind Light in the exact same pattern in which it was meant to be seen.  People need to know this.  Because I or anyone else claims to be a Christian does not make us free from imperfections.  We only try to be accessible to be a medium for Light to travel.
