The Dry Ice Paradox

Tuesday, March 9, 2021

If you've ever touched dry ice, you know it can hurt. Dry ice is so cold, it feels like it's burning hot. In the same way, we can't see God or the Spirit. We may be tempted to think because we can't touch something it's not real. But in the same way dry ice feels hot, so the reason you can't see God isn't because He's not real enough, but because He's too real to be seen or touched. Things you can see and touch will fade away; they aren't the real thing. So, don't despair that you can't see God or touch the things of faith. Instead, rejoice that you can't. Those who live for things they can see end up losing them. But the unseen things of faith, ensure you will never lose. Remember the dry ice paradox. The things of faith, unseen yet real, are not unseen because they aren't real. In fact, they are so real they are super-real, and seen only through the eyes of faith. rn
