Einführung in das Geschichtsstudium
by Stefan Jordan
Sometimes it has to be enough to wander in the dark. Don't ask me why. God does not always let us in on his major plan with our lives. And often the darkness we see around us, is only due to our misconception of what God is.
I don't always see God in my life, and yet I have to be honest and say I experience Him everywhere. There are many things, which we believe that are paradox. Many things we don't have answers to. One could ask the question: why put your faith in something you know you can't get an answer from? There are many things, which will be forever unanswerable. I'm content to let these things go unanswered, in exchange for the truth. Truth, no matter how small (even if it doesn't answer all questions), is more valuable to me than having all my most pressing questions answered.
On the other hand, there are questions that must be answered. I spend my life searching for the answers to them.
I'm joyful to see God at work in the lives of the young people at my church. It's an amazing thing to be the constant observer of a work so great, not even Christ Himself knows when it will be complete. That just kicks my can! Awesome. If Christ has to live by faith, why should I be any different? Mind you. I'm not speaking of turning off the brain and walking into walls. That's why I study history. Not satisfied with all the answers for things I've been given. I want to trust, however, beyond that which I can see.
