So I'm reading this book by C.S. Lewis called Mere Christianity and after reading this one part I realized something, here is the passage. He is talking about spiritual life and how we are like statues or paintings of God and that statues don't have life (like we don't yet have spiritual life). I don't think I'm setting it up well, but here is the passage:
"A man who changed from bios (physical life) to having zoe (spiritual life) would have gone through as big a change as a statue which changed from being carved stone to being a real man. And that is precisely what Christianity is about. This world is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life."
Okay, remember in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (Also by C.S. Lewis) how the witch (who is satan) turned all her prisoners (which is us) into stone but then Aslan (jesus) comes and breathes (like the breath of life) onto them and they come back to life? How much cooler is this looking at it from this perspective??? I just thought that was awesome. That is all.
