The Cave Genesis2:4-9 6-23-96
Plato...300-400BC...the cave illustration
difference between real and unreal
Genesis...created dust and spirit...real and unreal
Amazing how it is all formed
bird stuck in the tar
body is not the man...take it away, still have the man
soul is the man...take it away, have nothing
Returning to cave...what if one were to leave
blinded by the light, might swear off world
this is approach of those who do not believe
we must live in the world
let us take care, that we who do believe, do not get too lost in the shadows
let us remember what God sees when he looks
let us remember to look behind the dust and see the spirit
let us follow the example of Jesus
who in his living, reminded us of the true life of the spirit
who in his dying, reminded us that the soul committed to God will triumph even over death
prayer...God let us strive to see others as you see them
let us strive to treat others not as bits of dust, but as bits of the eternal
