08 John - Beyond the Horizon
By Richard
In John 8, Jesus accuses the crowd of being too, “tied down to the mundane… [They] live in terms of what they can see and touch.” Jesus on the other hand is, “in touch with what is beyond their horizons.”
This is actually a big challenge for us because we tend to focus on what we can see and touch. Yet the bible describes those with faith as people who focus on a invisible and far greater reality - a God who exists beyond the horizons of our physical world.

CS Lewis illustrates this beautifully in his children's book, "The Silver Chair". The children and their older guide are underground in the Deep Brown, and the "queen" is trying to convince them that there is no sun, that there never was a sun, that the only world that exists is her world, where they are now. It is hard for them to hold on to the bigger reality of a sun and a world above, because they are lulled and convinced by the physical world around them.
