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. 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.

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…

Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer; the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.’ (Is 44:6)  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God … and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. (Jn 1:1; 14)  Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? (I Cor 3:16)  Father, Lord Jesus, and Spirit: I don’t understand, but I praise who you are. Imagine a world where temperatures…
