EYES TWO - VISION ONE
An eastern tradition tells us that one day a group of men asked Jesus, “How is it that you can walk on the waters but we cannot?”
Jesus held out his hands before them. In his right hand was gold, in his left hand, a little dust.
And Jesus asked, “Which of the two is dearer to you?”
Without a moment’s hesitation they cried out with one voice, “Gold!”
“Both are alike to me,” said Jesus.
This is the difference between Jesus and an average man. To the average man, gold was the most precious possession, to Jesus it was the same as ashes and dust. So to Jesus the “solid” earth and the “fluid” waters were the same and he could walk with equal ease over land and sea!
