Thought for the month
I was reading an article recently with the following question posed by the author: “
Which wing of an aeroplane is
more important?”.
The writer was making his point in what he was writing about. Obviously both are equally nec-
essary and therefore both are equally important.
Have you ever asked yourself the question as to which is the more important – what we believe about God or
what kind of life we live? Christians would no doubt say the former whilst many folk would probably say the latter
matters most, but both are equally necessary and therefore both should be seen as equally important.
Knowing and finding God is very much a matter of faith. If we know all about God and understand all about His
nature and character, then that would be knowledge and faith would no longer be necessary. God cannot be re-
duced to human description or a scientific formula; He is a Spiritual Being, unseen, yet can be experienced and
reached, and it therefore requires faith to find and to know Him. Jesus Christ came to show us the way and to
reveal what God is really like. It then becomes possible for us to live the life which God intended for us, for we
then have His power and presence in our lives.
Which wing of an aeroplane is the most important? Both are equally necessary. In the same way, finding the Liv-
ing God should impact and influence our lives and our relationships with others. Jesus Himself said “
I have come
to give you life and it is life to the very full
” and that life lasts for eternity.
