Halting hatred

How we see the world around us depends on our view of reality.

When an average person looks across a room, he may say he sees mainly empty space—except for some furniture and a wall on the other side. But if a natural scientist puts on his “physicist hat,” he “sees” much more. His background and training enable him to see or understand “particles and fields,” for example.

I’ve often wondered what Christ Jesus must have seen in the environment of his day. The four Gospels indicate he saw a world far different from what we see with the physical senses. He saw deeply into the reality that is spiritual. The Bible says that “God is love” (I John 4:16). And the evidence is clear that Jesus saw the omnipotence and allness of God, divine Love, everywhere.
