The senseless world. As a pastor, I've seen my fair share of suffering and injustice. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the complexities and cruelties of this world. But as a Christian, I believe that there is a deeper reality at play. I don't think the world is ultimately senseless, but rather, it's a world that's been broken by sin. Our faith teaches us that there's a God who loves us and wants to redeem us, and that gives me hope in the midst of chaos.

I think it's also worth considering the idea that our perceptions of the world are filtered through our own subjective experiences. As Thomas Nagel says, "we cannot know this, and that it makes sense to go on seeking a systematic understanding of how we and other living things fit into the world." This means that our understanding of the world is always going to be incomplete, but that doesn't mean we should give up trying to make sense of it.

For me, the key to making sense of this world is to look at it through the lens of faith. I believe that God is the one who gives meaning and purpose to our lives, even in the midst of suffering and uncertainty. As I read the Bible and reflect on my own experiences, I'm reminded that God is always working, even when we can't see it. This gives me hope and helps me to make sense of a world that can sometimes seem senseless.
