as i've said before, one of my favorite things God ever did was create nature. i think most of my understanding of Him would not exist if nature didn't.
most recently i've been pondering the forest just outside my windows. we have trembling aspen, spruce, pine and balsom a few steps from any of my doors! they're all mixed together and have their roots deep in the clay. i haven't heard any of them complain about being beside another species. they haven't segregated themselves from the others.
(if you're easily offended, you might want to click the little 'x' in the top right hand corner now)
my question becomes "why can't the Church today be like that?" we all have our roots in One Savior and one redemption. sure, we have different ideas, thoughts and experiences. we will have different revelations of Jesus Christ.
everything in our lives must come back to one thing: Jesus Christ and Him crucified--1 Cor 2:2. when it does, the extraneous is simply that.
I agree completely.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've expressed your thoughts here. Love the metaphor of different species of trees. :)
