From the Inside Out
Dr. Jack Graham read a story in his Daystar program on Sunday, January 3, 2021. It presents a memorable perspective of life — relevant to believers and non-believers — of ALL ages.
“The Parable of The Concept of God”
Subtitled by Dr. Graham “The Word from The Womb”
In a mother’s womb were two babies.
#1 asked the other, “Do you believe in life after delivery?”
#2 “Well of course, there has to be something after delivery; maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what will be later.”
#1 “Nonsense! There is no life after delivery! What kind of life would that be?”
#2 “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs, and eat with our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand right now.”
#1 “That’s absurd! Walking is impossible; eating with our mouths — ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short, life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
#2 “Well, I think there is something, and maybe it’s different than it is here; maybe we won’t need this physical cord any more.”
#1 “Nonsense! And moreover, if there is life, why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and after delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion — it takes us no where.”
#2 “Well, I don’t know, but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
#1 “You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable! If Mother exists, then where is she now?”
#2 “She’s all around us; we’re surrounded by her; we are OF her; it is in her that we live. Without her this world would not and could not exist.”
#1 “Well, I don’t see her, so it’s only logical that she doesn’t exist.”
#2 “Sometimes, when you are in silence, you can focus and perceive her presence and you can hear her loving voice calling down from above.”
Dr. Graham’s close:
“GOD is speaking. Some of you may have denied Him, saying He doesn’t exist, that you can’t I hear Him. The biggest question in life is ‘How Can I Know GOD?’ Is there a GOD, and if there is a GOD, how can I know Him…How does He know me and how can I know Him? There’s a Name, and His Name is JESUS…God speaks through JESUS…There are many ways to JESUS, but only one way to GOD…”
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Col 1:17 NIV
