Francis Schaeffer told this story. Suppose you are lost in the Alps. Your view of the steep cliffs beneath you disappears into the fog. Night comes. Ice forms. Climbing further would mean certain death.
You cling to the ledge with numbed fingers, and speak to your climbing companion. “If we stay here, we will be dead by morning. I think we should jump into the darkness. Maybe there is a ledge below. If there is one, maybe we could have shelter until dawn. We will die on this ledge otherwise.”
That kind of jump would be a blind leap of faith.
But there is a second possibility. Imagine that you are on the same icy cliff. Fog swirls. Death approaches.
Suddenly, a voice shouts out of the darkness: “I can see that you are stuck on the cliff. You can’t see me, but I see just where you are. I am a Swiss guide, and I know that if you jump in a certain direction there is a safe, sheltered ledge below you. There you will be able to stay until morning, when I can come and get you.”
Aha! This is a different situation. You can question the speaker. Is he reliable? Test his statements. Check out the facts. Then, finally, if you choose to, jump. It is still foggy, and you can’t see if what the guide says is true. But it is no longer a blind leap of faith.
In the same way, you don’t have to blindly believe in the Bible. You can ask questions. And test the answers. Does it fit reality, is it reliable, dependable, and trustworthy?
Everyone needs a guide. Do you trust in what you can see or is your trust in The Someone who sees you?
For Truth in Two, this is Dr. Mark Eckel, President of the Comenius Institute, personally seeking Truth wherever it’s found.
