 | A Divine Display of Power
"Thou foolish one, that which thou sowest..." (1 Corinthians
15:36). The Greek verb is speireis, "you sow all the time." This is a
common everyday experience. You accept it because you see it happening
all the time. How true it is that there are many wonders in the world
that you would not have believed by report, if you had not come across
them by experience and observation. Had you lived fifty years ago,
would you have believed that a picture could be taken by Telstar, a
photographic communication satellite in the sky, which would then send
back a clear picture on your television screen? In fact, would you have
believed television? In the air there are only video waves, but on the
television screen you see a person, an actual scene. Everything is
wonderful until you are used to it; the resurrection of the body owes
the incredible portion of its marvel to the fact of your never having
observed it. After the resurrection we shall regard it as a divine
display of power as familiar to us as creation and providence are now.
