Mat_13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
"direct communication between the two countries will produce greater understanding"
It is said that we think in pictures, not words. If this is true, then every word that is spoken to us must be translated into a picture that we can understand. If that is true, then "Houston, we have a problem". Your experience, your data bank of pictures, is different than mine, at least in part. Therefore, when we speak or write we must speak to the listeners experience. What a challenge to the communicator!
Obviously, some will not get it, some will get it wrong and some will get it right. This is especially true of those of us who are trying to communicate esoteric ideas such as faith or humility or spirit.
What pictures flash through your mind when I say the word faith? Stop a minute and slow down your mind and look.
How about the word Love? Or God?
What pictures do you see?
I have heard (and have had the same experience) that the word God conjures up a picture of an old gray headed man, dressed in long white flowing robs, sitting on a throne amongst the clouds. Some of us see a scowl of disgust on this images face, some see an angry face still others see a Loving but feeble man. All of these images are wrong, we haven’t any accurate pictures of God that we have experienced, however we do have a number of word descriptions that have been provided in the Holy Scriptures, non of them completely or accurately describe the image of God.
So how are we to get an accurate picture of God, one that when I say God you know who I mean?
Joh_14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Joh_14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Joh_14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Joh_14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
While studying my Bible has not given me a picture of the physical presence of the Father or Jesus, it has given me a host of pictures to draw from that speak to the many attributes of the Father and my Lord. Each of these images, while they may not be very effective in communicating with you they have been extremely effective in communicating with our Father.
So my suggestion, read the Bible from beginning to end if you want to get to know the Father and be able to effectively communicate with Him.
