Dallas Willard On Jesus As Master Of Science And Technology
He was not regarded as, perhaps, a magician, who only knew “the right words” to get results without understanding...or who could effectively manipulate appearances. Rather, he was accepted as the ultimate scientist, craftsman, and artist.
At the literally mundane level, Jesus knew how to transform the molecular structure of water to make it wine. That knowledge also allowed him to take a few pieces of bread and some little fish and feed thousands of people. He could create matter from the energy he knew how to access from “the heavens,” right where he was.
...Surely one who could play on the energy/matter equation like that could do anything...
He knew how to transform the tissues of the human body from sickness to health and from death to life. He knew how to suspend gravity, interrupt weather patterns, and eliminate unfruitful trees without saw or ax.
