“’But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’” — he then said to the paralytic — ‘Rise, pick up your bed and go home.’” (Mt 9:6) “So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.” (Mk 2:28) “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” (Mk 10:45) “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 against you?’ But he remained…
“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?

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.

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. God, vast and deep as He is, is simple enough for a child to understand, and any honest treatment of the nature of God must do justice to this fact. But first, let me illustrate something about God by using math. Consider the following equation: ∜[a_0+∑_(n=1)^∞ (a_n cos nπx/L + b_n sin nπx/L ) ] =…
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? (Ex 15:11) Father, You are incomprehensible. No other god, no other person can compare. 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…
