Episode notes
Westworld Hosts Illustrate Spiritual Blindness
- Christopher Mack uses Westworld hosts as a vivid example of people who literally cannot see things outside their programming.
- He links that blindness to how people can stand before grace and say, "that doesn't look like anything to me."
Grace Often Goes Unrecognized
- The world often stands right before God's grace and does not recognize it, like hosts in Westworld who are blind to anachronisms.
- John portrays humanity as trained not to see mercy, so noticing grace requires retraining attention.
Incarnation As Living Interpretation
- The Torah needed an embodied interpreter, so John presents Jesus as the Logos made flesh to show God's way in person.
- Embodiment helps people see how mercy and truth look when lived out among humans.
