Everything good has to have a theme and a purpose - my theme will be based on the title of my blog "a ransom for many." As a minister, a pastor, and a believer - I see Christ everywhere. You see, he created everything that is - there is nothing that exists that didn't come from His initial creation. No matter how marred or distorted we make this world it will still possess the echoes of His original creation. In this blog we will look at Him as we look at art, music, nature, ideas, theories, and life.
C.S. Lewis said it best in his book, Perelandra (which is my favorite). In the fictional story, that takes place on Venus, the main character Ransom is speaking with the angel in charge of the planet. The angel tries to explain how Christ is at the center of all things yet everywhere and says to him,
"Where God is, there is the center. He is in every place. Not some of Him in one place and some in another, but in each place the whole God, even in the smallness beyond thought. There is no way out of the center save into the sinful will which casts itself into nowhere. Blessed be He!"
The Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 1:15-17, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
So, I will do my best to provide insight into the amazing pattern and plan of Christ which is everywhere. For:
true beauty comes from Him - the Beautiful One
true love comes from Him who is - Love Incarnate
true creativity comes from Him who is - the Creator of all things
true strength comes from Him who is - the Strongest
true wisdom comes from Him - the Wisest
Until next time . . .
