Spiritual Paradox
I came across this years ago in an articel that came in the mail. This was at least in the '80'. Although these are not all of the Paradox listed in the article, these are a few to ponder.
- The Christian has to believe the unbelievable.

- Hear the inaudible
- Know the unknowable
- He has to see an invisible God
- His greatest reality is to see what can't be seen
- Hear what no man can hear
- In order to get going, you have to stop
- If you stop doing your own work, then you're really working
- When you are weak, then you are really strong (2 Cor. 3:5)
- In the dark, you receive light
- When the Lord seems furthest away, He is actually the closest
- In order to live, you have to die
- If you are dead, then you are very much alive
- In order to have good mind(the mind of Christ), you have to lose your mind
- Those who think they are free, are usually bound
- Those bound to the Lord are actually free
- To be the master, one must be the servant
- He that is the least is the greatest
- The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
- In order to be filled, you have to be emptied
- Rejoice when things go badly
- Be filled with joy when you are tempted and have all kinds of problems.
