Infinite Intersections


Last night at FCI, we were discussing the infinite character qualities of God. I love a great visualization to help you wrap your finite brain around the infinity of God and this is perhaps the best I've heard all year. So imagine expanding lines running horizontal intersected by vertical lines. Each line represents an attribute of God (i.e. grace, mercy, justice, holiness, omnipotence, omnipresence). At each intersection of lines, think about how God can simultaneously embody both attributes that we often struggle to reconcile (such as justice/grace or holiness/mercy). And imagine that these intersections continue to expand because God is infinite and eternal. WOW!!! Amazing!!!
