“All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” (Mt 11:27) “He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said ‘This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.’” (Mt 17:5) “And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, ‘Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify…

He is the image of the invisible God (Col 1:15) Father,  Help us see you by showing us Jesus. God wants you to know Him. That is a radical thought. It is something like saying that you want this grub worm to know you … only the gap between us and God is greater. Yet it is true. God wants you to know Him. For us to know God, however, He must reveal Himself to us, for if God does no revealing, we shall have no knowledge. God’s revelation comes in at least three forms. The first form is that…

Sometimes we judge importance by length. We shouldn’t. I have written many blogs discussing the depths, mysteries and intricacies of God, but I am going to take only one blog to talk about His simplicity. You see, we need to see God as simple.

You surpass the nations, and You exceed the boundaries of our knowledge. Truly, You are worthy. Over the past months, this blog has discussed many attributes of God — love, justice, wrath, mercy, omniscience, omnipotence, Trinity, and more.   After reading these descriptions, two things ought to strike us. First, God has revealed a great deal about Himself. Second, God has not revealed everything. He is far bigger and greater than what He has revealed. The past blogs…

God is love. (I Jn 4:8)  ‘Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. (Mk 10:7-8)  Paul, an apostle — not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead … (Gal 1:1) God, I praise you not just because you are beyond my understanding but because your mystery helps me understand other mysteries. We’ve been talking about the Trinity — the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. All…
