I was reading John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion" last night and this quote stuck out to me. It was in Volume 1, Chapter VI, Section 4 "Irenaeus writes that the Father, himself infinite, becomes finite in the Son, for he has accommodated himself to our little measure lest our minds be overwhelmed by the immensity of his glory." As Christians we too often make God to small because our minds can't comprehend his awesomeness. #grownostr #Jesus #Christianity #hope

Love this. A friend in recovery used to say, “Any God that I can comprehend is going to be too small to meet my needs.”
Exactly.

I have thought this, If a human could comprehend God in totality in truth. It would have to be experienced by the human as a contradiction.

From the beginning humanity has been trying to be God rather than be like Him.
