John 12:27-29 “Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
I find many people who want to try to explain what God has done with logic and natural answers. I have had discussions with priests who don't believe the supernatural events in Jesus life or His supernatural powers. On Sunday we had the last of a group of monologues that have been given each Sunday during Lent to represent people who were at the cross. The last monologue was done by a couple who were representing the community that sought Jesus crucifixion. They had explanations to discount everything special about Jesus and every reason why he should be crucified. We have the ability to hear with any ears we want, and we have the ability to discern with any heart we want.
In the gospel account for today the same event was perceived very differently by different observers. I have said it before but I think I'll repeat myself, why do we limit what God could do when we have a whole unexplainable universe as evidence God can do some pretty amazing things? I'm all for science, but I still know that when we have done all we can do even if we have centuries more to speculate, we will still have theories that attempt to explain the unexplainable.
