What is beauty in the first place? Why are we humans hardwired - TopicsExpress



          

What is beauty in the first place? Why are we humans hardwired to spend our lives chasing beauty? How is the cross and the death of Christ — for all of its ugliness — beautiful? In what particular ways does the fall impact us beauty-junkies, particularly in how we perceive and use — or misuse — created beauty? How hard is the battle to be personally convinced, every day, that Christ is the most satisfyingly and beautiful thing/person in the universe? At what point in your own life did your eyes become “wide open” to the gifts that God has given in the beauty of creation? How do we navigate two realities: (1) this world is full of God’s created beauty, and (2) this is a fallen world and much of what we see around us is twisted and distorted by sin? Why is it possible for non-Christian artists — musicians, painters, actors, novelists, poets, etc. — to create beautiful art that at times leads Christians to lift their hearts in worship to God? ~ Steve DeWitt, Eyes Wide Open to God’s Created Beauty
