The Word of the Lord
There was a famous physicist that taught at Caltech in the 60s and 70s named Richard Feynman, and he is actually given a lot of credit for taking physics from what was known as kind of a boring field of study at Caltech to one of the most popular. He would always begin his lectures with this great question which became known as Feynman's Cataclysmic Question. The question was, ''If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?'' So, basically, if humanity was destroyed and if everyone on earth somehow died, and you could leave one sentence for the next, what would you say? What would you say if you could just give one sentence? Feynman's answer was ''All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another.''
That's it, and its actually it's a really helpful sentence that tells you a lot about the natural world. This sentence is packed with a lot of meaning, and it's actually how I feel about this passage. If all of the Bible was lost, I feel like if we just had this, if we just had this little section of John, we could understand really the rest of the Bible. You can kind of springboard from this text to the whole of the Old Testament and to the whole of the New Testament. It tells us a great deal about the nature of God and the nature of man. I really feel like from this section of John you can learn so much ...
