I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching on the subject of redemption over the past five weeks. It's amazing to me the scope of what was paid for and provided through the selfless offering of our Lord's life. Without much thought, redemption seems pretty black and white, yet every time I study it I'm awed by the unending dimensions of God's love for us.
I'm sure it's like astronomers peering into the cosmos, each time using more powerful and sophisticated telescopes permitting them to see new galaxies and nebula. Yet they never fully able to comprehend the true magnitude of God's creation.
I suppose that's the reason for eternity? No amount of finite time or human effort will ever enable us to grasp the breadth, width and height of our creator. He just goes on and on and on and on.
Although disconcerting to my mind because I can't understand it, it's comforting to my spirit to know God is, and always will be greater than anything I'll ever face.
