Not everything is what you think

Experience is a good teacher, but only to a point.

The experience of a single human being is limited. Indeed, there is a limit even to the combined experience of all the human beings who ever lived.

In today’s first reading (1 Corinthians 15:35-37, 42-49), Saint Paul argues against people whose concept of the resurrection is limited, trying to use analogies from human experience but ultimately indicating that it is a reality that is totally different from human experience.

May the Lord Jesus give us the grace of wisdom that extends beyond earthly knowledge and experience and that touches the heavenly mysteries of eternal truth.
