Opinion: You Are No Longer a Human Being (1), By Femi Aribisala
Many years ago, I went to collect my wife from the airport and was cornered by armed robbers. They blocked the road with their car and approached us with guns. But in the middle of the attack, I heard a disembodied voice that reassured me. It said: “Femi, nothing is going to happen to you here.”
But did something happen to me or did nothing happen? Was there a bullet in my leg, or was there no bullet in my leg? Was something wrong with my leg or was nothing wrong with my leg? That was my very first encounter with the Lord God Almighty; who “calls those things which do not exist as though they did.”A few weeks later, God validated his invisible reality by healing my injured leg. In effect, he brought both the attack and the bullet-wound to nothing.
Jairus rushed to Jesus so he would receive healing for his daughter. But after he had managed to get to Jesus, a word was sent to him that it was already too late. His daughter had died. But Jesus ignored that report from the pit of hell. He said to Jairus: “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.”When He got to the girl, He exposed the lie of death. He said: “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”In effect, an experience can be absolutely “real” but absolutely false.
