March 23: Joshua 13-15; Psalm 69; John 3

Like Nicodemus, we want to understand.  We want to have all the answers.  But, there are some things we will never be able to completely understand.  Like God.  God is a mystery to humanity.  We can begin to know---Scripture reveals God to us----Jesus reveals God to us----Knowing others is knowing God because we are made in the image of the divine.  And yet, it is still only a sliver.

And yet this God, who is so much more than we will ever know, this God invites us into intimate relationship.  This intimacy is what we are made for---to be drawn into the dance of love of our tri-personal God:  the Father who gives life, the Son who defeats death, and the Spirit who restores and renews.  For God so loved the world.
