Manage episode 425890894 series 3490688
Can the simple structure of a sentence reflect the eternal nature of God? Join us as we uncover how the seemingly mundane elements of human language can mirror the profound intra-Trinitarian relations between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. With insights from Vern Poythress, we explore the divine truth encapsulated in our words and how Jesus, as the Word of God, orchestrates and sustains all of creation. Discover how internalizing this divine Word can create a harmonious unity between our inner lives, the cosmos, and the eternal life of God.
Next, we delve into the transformative power of words to define and reveal divine truths, focusing on the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 11:25-30. See how childlike faith unlocks the mysteries of the Father, offering rest to the weary, while human cleverness falls short in finding true meaning. We emphasize the intrinsic order and definition of the universe through the Son and underscore the necessity of seeking wisdom and rest in Jesus. Tune in to get a glimpse of our next topic, where we will explore the mediating and priestly nature of language, further expanding on how words bridge the human and the divine.
