The Revelation of a Supernatural God
Fellow scientists scoffed at Louis Pasteur’s theory of the
existence of airborne microbes that are invisible to the naked
eye. The medical establishment told him, “The world into which
you wish to take us is really too fantastic.” Pasteur proved his
theory and became renowned for his scientific work and
contributions to the field of medicine.1
Reality cannot always be seen, but it can be discovered.
Jesus said, “There is nothing covered that will not be revealed,
nor hidden that will not be known” (Luke 12:2). The most
significant unseen reality that we must each discover, in order
to live the lives that we were meant to, is the spiritual reality of
our supernatural God.
God has left us evidence of Himself in the created world—in
the intricateness, orderliness, and beauty of the natural
environment around us. Yet, when we contemplate the
greatness of His creation, our finite imaginations still cannot
begin to fathom His vast love and immense power.
Man has also often tried to know God through intellectual
means, but these attempts have proven insufficient. We can
know facts and information about God, but we cannot know
Him personally through intellectual knowledge.
