On the campus of Ohio State University stands an intriguing building known as the Wexler Arts Center. Ravi Zacharias, a Christian lecturer, described it as a notable example "of asymmetrical random design, with staircases that go nowhere, and pillars that do not join two levels but stop in midair."

Why would anyone build something that embodies such absurdities? Zacharias explained that the building is symbolic of reality as godless people see it--irrational and disjointed.

Without faith in God and the knowledge of His design as revealed in Scripture, life can indeed seem meaningless. It is, as Shakespeare expressed it in MacBeth, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

But when we view history and our own experiences from a biblical perspective, life begins to make sense. A divine blueprint becomes evident as the Grand Architect unfolds His purpose, both in the world of nature and in the construction of His church (Eph. 1:3-3:19).

As we follow Christ and read God's Word, we get a glimpse of His redemptive design of wisdom, love, and power. We may not understand everything, but we can be sure it all makes perfect sense in His eternal plan.  — Vernon C. Grounds
