TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - FEBRUARY 10, 2020
Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 9:13AM Seeking to Know God's Greatness
Today is February 10, 2021
Welcome to your mid-week!
God's greatness is both incomparable and indescribable.
God is infinite and Triune. He is the creator of the world yet not confined by time and space. He is omniscient and omnipresent, omnipotent and omni-benevolent. Who can you compare him to?
And how do you describe his greatness? Apostle Paul, trying to describe just one aspect of God's greatness - his great power - wrote that God's power was "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." (Ephesians 1:19-21)
You can almost feel his struggle in trying to describe God's great power. Imagine trying to describe every aspect of God's greatness.
God's greatness is indescribable and incomparable. And yet, even though it is hard to fathom, it is essential that we seek it because seeking God's greatness will definitively show that God loves us.
Unlike other great figures, God does not keep himself at a distance. God does not live in a home on a mountain surrounded by walls and shrubbery and an agent.
No.
God, who is so great to form the universe by speaking, chooses to create us by hand. Our great God chooses to put his fingers in the dust and dirt to form us; to come to the earth and then face to face to breathe life into us.
As Ephesians 1:4 says: "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love"
If we compare the size of God loving us to the size of the universe loving the earth, it would be like us loving a spec of dust, less than a spec of dust actually. How ridiculous would it be for us to love a spec of dust? But that is God's amazing, radical, & crazy great love for us. And that love is only understood when we seek to know God's greatness.
God's blessing and protection over you and your families and I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.
