One: a topical Bible study/one as a specific point of fact/Continuity and Completion within the Whole

 Continuity and Completion within the Whole:

Our choices are connections. Connections reach completely between points. Completion is continuity. If you jump off a cliff, there is continuity in the fall. You don't stop halfway down; you fall to the bottom. Continuity is found in the right order of things, and, really, that is what we should look for. It was gravity that assured continuity in the fall. On the other hand, if you jump into the sky, gravity will be of no use as you are trying to do something contrary to the right order of things. You will not go to the top.

There is a natural order to everything in life. Sailing ships go where the wind takes them. Sun-dependent plants follow the course of the sun. Rivers run out of the mountains and find the sea. Day follows night and night follows day. Those who ask receive. We see continuity in symmetry. We have two feet so that we may put one before the other and get where we want to go. Common sense guides us through much of our daily struggle, but not all. We naturally expect the good to follow our efforts, but continuity demands that the bad also follow through.

Continuity is completion. Few appreciate the bitter cold of winter, but winter is necessary for the completion of the year. The rules of everything we know are already set to reach completion. The pendulum of life experience will include both sides. Therefore, if the bad, like the good, is geared toward continuity, and if the mechanics of all natural outcomes strives toward completion, then we are wise to allow matters to run their course. This may be understood from Luke 6:29 “And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other”
