Emergent

Everyone knows that oaks grow from seeds. Emergent isn't it? Just like evolution. Order ascending from disorder. The idea of growth. Progress. Machines become more and more complex. Simple to complicated.

But there is a reverse side of this. Oaks grow from seeds, but the seed itself comes from something far more complex than itself, the oak tree itself. There is a pattern of descend before the ascend can take place. Machines become more complex, but the machine itself comes from something far greater, the human who made it. And life is formed from simple components, singles cells; but its order comes from a creator far greater than nature itself.

The pattern of descend and ascend is found everywhere in nature.. Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies, it remains a seed.

Guess what? This pattern is found in nature because it is first found in the creator. From His greatness, in glory and majesty, He descended to the level of the natural, then to a babe.. He then descended even further to the tomb, almost disappearing. Just like the seed which fell from the oak, then died in the ground. But He burst forth once again, ascending, bringing along the whole of humanity with Him. And He was given the name above every name.

Such beauty.
