We are learning that an appearance of reality is not necessarily reality itself. We are also learning that what our eyes see and what our ears hear cannot always be accepted as sufficient evidence of what actually happened. That may seem like a problem created by modern technology, but the principle behind it is much older than technology. The Bible has been warning God's people about deception from the very beginning, and Jesus gave us a particularly sobering warning...
