Christ exhibited God, he did not expound Him. He was his
witness, not His apologist. He did more to reveal than to
interpret. And His revelation was in work more than in
Word. He was the revelation. To see Him was to see the
Father, not to see how He could be the Father” (Forsyth
1957b)
The Bible insists that we are saved by faith, not by
sight. We believe that God is like Jesus, in Jesus,
working through Him- even though nobody in the
2000 years of Christian history claims to fully
understand how it works.
We see God in worship more fully, more clearly
than in detailed explanations. The language of the
church is prayer, praise, and thanksgiving, rather
than philosophical abstractions.
The artist captures the flight of an eagle more fully
than the sociologist or psychologist- yes, very likely,
more than the theologian. The poet sees beyond
the “facts”. Jesus, the artist, the musician, the poet,shows us God. We may not understand, but we
cannot resist the glory.
In Jesus, we see the triumph of “Love” – and
“Holiness”.
The love of Jesus includes everyone-even me-
without in any way comprising His holiness.
Sometimes this angers us. We dare not-since we
call ourselves Christians-challenge His right to love
criminals, cheapskates, homosexuals, communists,
etc., but we do resent it, don’t we?
Our image of god is dimmed by resentment or
self-righteousness and the refrain, “It isn’t fair”.
Then it is urgent that we spend some time just
looking at and listening to Jesus. And though we
still can’t explain why- the world does seem to
reflect His glory.
He drew a circle that shut me out
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout
But love and I had the wit to win
We drew a circle that took Him in
Edwin Markham, “Outwitted”
“He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can
you say, “Show us the Father? Do you not believe
that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me?” (John
14: 9-10)
May our good God
bless you all,
With prayerful regards,
Mothy Achen
