Going Deeper

vol.13: Delighting in the Trinity: God the Son: Colossians 1: 15-20

Hello friends-

I am so sorry Going Deeper is arriving so late this week. I started my new job on Monday and simultaneously ended up sick enough to put me in bed a couple of days. The MENU will be published in the morning!

Since God the Father has eternally loved his Son, it is entirely characteristic of him to turn and create others that he might also love them. The Father has always enjoyed loving another, and so the act of creation by which he creates others to love seems utterly appropriate for him. Thus Jesus Christ, God the Son, is the Logic, the blueprint for creation. He is the one eternally loved by the Father; creation is about the extension of that love outward so that it might be enjoyed by others. The fountain of love brimmed over. The Father so delighted in his Son that his love for him overflowed through creation, so that the Son might be loved by creation with the Father.
