Science is on a trajectory towards John’s Gospel chapter 1. It might take some time getting there. In the meantime, we can trust the teachings in John’s gospel as we find them to be true when we live by them. This life is only a part of a bigger picture. The existence we have in this biological life is prelude to a further existence of consciousness after we die. Then eventually there may be resurrection of one kind or another. We have to think of such things if we are to follow Jesus Christ. The excesses we indulge in today are woe for the conscious existence we endure later. We are not thinking in line with Lord Jesus’ teachings if we boastfully rejoice in having all our good things now in this biological life. We need to get it, that suffering comes to us in the consciousness we have after death if we ignore the poor now and live in excessive luxury despite their pleas. Ignorance of this is worldliness, and will not help us nor excuse us. Knowing it but ignoring it, this is worse still. Remember the poor and believe the teachings Jesus gave and believe who Jesus is. Believe Jesus exists even if we do not know where he is precisely. It helps. Then there is hope of resurrection to life eternal.
