Further Adventures of Jeff Doles

Though the God of Creation is fundamentally different from Creation,

yet through the Incarnation, God has become part of His Creation,

to suffer with Creation in a way that is completely redemptive.

God can take the worst our broken humanity has to offer

and turn it to profound healing and blessing.

Behold the Cross.

Faith in Jesus, who is The Way,

looks like following.

Faith in God, who is love, looks like love.

When we hold on to bitterness, we leave no room for God’s peace. Forgive.

God chose us in Christ from the beginning of the world.

Which is to say, when God chose Christ, He chose us, too.

That is the wonder of the Incarnation.

There is a deep,

deep love in the universe

that embraces you and me.

It is the mutual, overflowing

love of the Father, the Son

and the Holy Spirit.
