Mid-Week Update (24/02/10)
I hope everyone is diligently reading through chapter 5 of the Experiencing God book. For those of you who haven't, you've got an extra day on Saturday to catch up.
Hopefully I will post some thoughts on the earlier parts today or tomorrow so that we (the few of you anyway who happen by this blog heh) can get some online discussions going instead of waiting till Sunday before you unburden all your questions. If you like to begin any discussion then please do go ahead and start it, don't always have to wait for me.

The God who Reveals
One fundamental aspect of God seen throughout scripture is the fact that God is transcendent i.e. He is so completely different and superior to us in substance, power, wisdom, etc....
And yet the great mystery is that this infinite God makes Himself known to finite Man. Have you ever wondered why did God create human beings? Was it because of some need He had for companionship? Surely not.
The Lord desires people to seek Him out. This presupposes of course that God has also revealed Himself sufficiently to be sought out and known. Out of His overflowing abundance God created the world in order to reveal Himself through nature (Psa 19:1-4, Rom 1:20) , through His Word and, most importantly of all, through His Holy Spirit. He has, in essence, condescended to make Himself knowable to His Creation and this is no better illustrated than in the incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Consider what this means. That God, while being so fundamentally different and superior to us, does not remain afar but willingly and graciously comes down to us so that we can glory and delight in His Presence.

The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens! Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?
- Psalm 113: 4-6
He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
- 1 Timothy 6: 15b-16
And yet the great mystery is that this infinite God makes Himself known to finite Man. Have you ever wondered why did God create human beings? Was it because of some need He had for companionship? Surely not.
For thus says the LORD,who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): "I am the LORD, and there is no other. I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, 'Seek me in vain.' I the LORD speak the truth; I declare what is right.
- Isaiah 45: 18-19
