As a long time Christian, I have had my share of questions and struggles. Almost 2 years ago, upon a question from a friend about why Jesus' promises didn't seem to be relevant in today's world, I began studying a closer relationship with the Almighty. I discovered a relationship that explains many things for me, and the title quote was a turning point. As I contemplated the taste of water, I began to consider how wonderful that first drop tastes when you have been without water for awhile. For most of us, that is a trip to the surgery wing. For some in our world, that is a real need. Finding ways to be relief, to offer relief, to comfort...
The bible speaks of God as love, a friend, a guide. But understanding God as relief ties together all we know of quantum physics, of everything! Faith as a grain of mustard seed - Jesus explained many of his parables to his disciples. Now, put yourself in Jesus' place, and you know quantum physics. How are you going to explain to the common man in the year zero about the actions of atomic particles?
Science tells us the actions of these particles react to how you expect them to appear. The rule says they are so fast and so small you can either observe how fast they are going, or observe their state. You cannot do both.
It ties in with the Biblical statement that Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever. There is no time in classical physics! Time is a man made construct.
Observe the statement. God isn't water, not any material thing, in fact. He is the unknowable force behind our world. God is relief!
