| Logic comes from a Greek word. It means the art of thinking
and reasoning. The word "Logos," designating the Word of God or
Christ, is how the Greeks of the Christian era translated "Milta"
from the Ancient Aramaic, the original language of the Scriptures spoken
by Jesus or Eashoa. Milta means God Manifest.
However, the authentic Scriptures have nothing to do with the logic of this world. When the Messiah Eashoa came to the world, the logical-minded of this world rejected him. The Pharisees and the scribes didn't recognize him. From their understanding of the Scriptures, they had anticipated that when he came, the Messiah's kingdom would never be relinquished on this earth. They didn't accept it when Eashoa said, "my kingdom is not of this world." The scribes and Pharisees that rejected Eashoa were using the logic of this world to judge him. They thought the miracles that Eashoa performed were a form of magic. When Eashoa turned water into wine, they thought that it was a trick. In fact, even today most people don't understand the significance of Eashoa's miracles. Some people think that the miracle of turning water into wine meant that it's okay to drink alcohol. They missed the point. "Everybody serves the best wine first," they said during the wedding feast where the miracle was performed. However, Eashoa explained later that the best wine that would be served last was his blood, and the wine that was served first was the blood of the prophets that came before him, who prophesied about him. All the other miracles of Eashoa were not according to the logic of the world. That's why he performed them, to show that the logic of this world is not the deciding factor when it comes to salvation. He fed thousands with a few pieces of bread and fish. It wasn't logical, yet some of the people who were fed thought that this was great, if only Eashoa could continue to feed them, without them having to do any work. But he wanted them to understand that the food of this world was not the issue. The food that he offered them meant that they would never hunger or thirst again. In his parables, Eashoa explained everything according to the logic of this world, so the eyes of the people who were destined to understand him would be opened. Later he would explain to his disciples everything according to the spiritual reality that he represented. Therefore, we should not approach the Scriptures with the logic of this world, but allow the truth of the Scriptures to reach us in its spiritual form. We need to see beyond the translated text and accept the message of the Bible in its purity. We should always ask ourselves, "What did Eashoa mean by this?" |
