Are Ghosts Real?

Hey, Carpool Crew. Welcome back to Questions from the Backseat. Today's question is one a lot of you have thought about and would never bring up at dinner. Are ghosts real? I'm glad we're answering this question instead of you lying in bed worrying about it. Here's the honest answer. There is a real world that you can't see, and every single bit of it answers to Jesus. So Colossians chapter 1 verse 16 says, "For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible." Catch that? The visible and the invisible. Paul put them in the same sentence, the same list, the same creator. Now, I'm not going to pretend the Bible says much about ghosts because it doesn't. We did a whole episode on angels and demons back in July, and that's the part in the Bible that actually talks about it. This is different. This is your hallway at night. Maybe a kid at school says his grandma's house is haunted. Maybe you saw a part of something you weren't supposed to see. Maybe your house makes a noise at night that it never makes in the afternoon. Here's a way to handle it. Say the scary thing out loud. Use real words. "I think there's something in the hallway." It gets smaller the second it has words on it because now you can look at it instead of just feeling it. Then measure it against something bigger. Well, Jesus made everything, seen and unseen. There's nothing behind that door that Jesus is nervous about. You know, here's the one thing today I want you to remember. Whatever you can't see, Jesus made it, and it answers to Him. Today, say the thing out loud to a grown-up and ask them what they think. Remember, no matter where you are or how you're listening, God loves you. And hey, if you have a question you want answered, we'd love to answer it. Get a grown-up, and they'll help you submit the question at carpoolingwithjesus.com/ask. I'll see you later, Carpool Crew. Have a good one.
