One day a very well known Professor Scientist called all his fellow scientists over to his house for dinner. Once they have finished eating and drinking, he cleared the table of everything and asked them to remain seated. "Please clear your minds" he said, "because I will show you something, then I would like you to give me your best theory on what you could do with what you see. Everyone's opinion counts, no matter how wild or extreme it is."
Then he brought in a small sack of dirt and poured it in the middle of the table and then sat down himself. "What do you think?" he asked them.
There was silence for a long time until one man said jokingly: "I see a pile of dirt. It has a stench to it and some of it got on my pants." Everyone laughed except the host. When they noticed his seriousness, they all looked at each other somewhat confused.
"It looks like the dirt from your vacuum cleaner."
"It does, doesn't it?" The host replied. "Do you think we could make a vacuum cleaner out of this?
"It would be very difficult, if not impossible." They all agreed. "There just don't seem to be enough chemical elements present to make even a small knife, not alone to make all the parts needed for a working vacuum cleaner."
"So what do you think would be needed to do the job without adding anything to the pile of dirt that you see before you?" The host replied with annoyance.
Again a long silence. Angrily the host stood up and almost yelled at his friends. "Time! Time and a great energy you fools! Isn't that what we teach our students?"
"A few days ago, this here pile of dirt was a most incredible machine the world has ever known. It walked, talked, reasoned, loved, cried, felt and expressed pain, but most of all, it gave me life. And then, she died. This pile of dirt, my dear friends, is my mother. From the deep sorrow I now feel, I realized that I teach people to believe that in a few billion years, this pile of dust will reassemble itself and once again become my mother. I will no longer teach this."
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
