Strengthen yourselves so that you will live here
on earth doing what God wants.
-1 Peter 4:2
I suspect the most consistent thing about life
has to be its inconsistency…
It’s this eerie inconsistency that keeps all of
us, to one degree or another, living our lives
on the edge of our chairs.
Yet, it was in this inconsistency that God had
his finest hour. Never did the obscene come so
close to the holy as it did on Calvary. Never
did the good in the world so intertwine with the
bad as it did on the cross…
God on a cross. Humanity at its worst.
Divinity at its best… God is not stumped by an
evil world. He doesn’t gasp in amazement at the
depth of our faith or the depth of our failures.
He knows the condition of the world….and loves
it just the same.
Just when we find a place where God would never
be (like on a cross), we look again and there he
is, in the flesh.
