Space and time are fundamental categories
of humanity. We live in space-time locations and also think in them as mental
categories.
IT enables a certain transcendence over space-time
boundaries, but they persist as underlying realities. Its possible to wriggle
around time zones for calls, but still frustrating to be at differing ends of
the day and, of course, to be outside of the possibility of physical contact. Digital
messages can be posted and received at times convenient to each.. That’s great but
not as good as it could be.
All that presently strikes me as I am half
a world away from loved ones for an extended period.
What a contrast then with access to God
through Jesus and in prayerful fellowship. Space-time are irrelevant categories,
for there is always and everywhere the same level of access to him. It’s a comforting
thought for a traveller, but also a wondrous truth about God and our
relationship with him.
