CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 15, 2022
IT AMAZES ME THAT LIFE’S MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS – WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE? WHERE AM I HEADED? ARE OFTEN IGNORED.
THE ACTRESS AND SINGER OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN, WHO DIED LAST WEEK, AND WHO STARRED IN “GREASE,” A FAVORITE MOVIE OF MINE, DISPLAYED HER FAILURE TO ASK THESE QUESTIONS.
IN A PODCAST INTERVIEW, OLIVIA WAS ASKED HER THOUGHTS ON FAITH, SAYING SHE BELIEVED THERE WAS SOMETHING OUT THERE AFTER YOU DIE.
“WE ALL KNOW WE ARE GOING TO DIE…I THINK WE SPEND OUR LIVES DENYING IT… I HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES WITH SPIRITS OR SPIRIT LIFE AND FELT THE SPIRIT WORLD AND HAVE HEARD THINGS…”. SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT THERE WAS “ENERGY” AND A LIFE OF SOME SORT AFTER DEATH. SHE COMPARED LIFE TO BEING PART OF A COMPUTER “AND WE GO BACK TO THE MAIN BATTERY. I DON’T HAVE A DEFINITION OF WHAT IT IS.”
SCRIPTURE DOES. JESUS TOLD US. WHY DON’T PEOPLE READ WHAT GOD HAS CAUSED TO BE WRITTEN DOWN SO WE CAN FIND HIM ON HIS TERMS, NOT OUR OWN?
LIFE’S MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ARE OFTEN ASKED, BUT OFTEN THE ANSWERS ARE NOT PURSUED. JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING. IGNORING HIS ANSWER CAUSES ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM HIM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
