MARK 1:10-11

Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

TO PONDER

To appear to be more intelligent than I am, I want to talk about the Copenhagen Interpretation of Schrodinger’s cat. First, we should begin with Schrödinger’s zombie cat, the thought experiment of a cat locked in a box with deadly poison, which will eventually spill out into the box thus killing the cat.

Werner Heisenberg, a fellow German countryman of Erwin Schrödinger, came up with an explanation of Schrödinger’s zombie cat and quantum physics, his interpretation was until someone opened the box the cat was both alive and dead at the same time, the observation by an individual was the catalyst.

In other words the state of the cat in the Copenhagen Interpretation is undecided until it is observed or perhaps not.

In today’s verses we see the certain fulfillment of a few of God’s promised advents; the promised “voice of one crying in the wilderness” Isaiah 40:3-4, the confirmation of “God with us” Isaiah 7:14 via a voice from heaven, salvation would be through a person, and this just off the top of my head but the fulfillment of God’s promises, unlike the Copenhagen Interpretation of a zombie cat, were not dependant on observation by an individual.

The promised advent was a definite as soon as God planned it, the impossible was possible, the plan was sure as soon as the promised advent was made. 


PRAYER:  Saviour Jesus, I give thanks that your planned advent was decided before the world was created to restore relationship with you, the almighty God, and your creation, you did it all and none of it was dependant on me. Amen.
