Have you ever seen one those paintings of Jesus where He is depicted as a tall lean blond man lounging in a field in a white robe holding a bunch of lambs? Who paints those things?
This is not the image of our God as depicted in His word. Jesus was a rough and burly man. Full of fire and passion. A warrior when it came to doing battle against those who offended the sacred things of the Father. Yet, in a moment, able to touch a young child with hands of gentleness. To us, the warrior is just as critical as the gentle shepherd. By His holy passion for righteousness, we are continually moved on to perfection. By His gentle love, we are continually comforted in our lessons of life. Let us never lose sight of the God who is a fierce warrior.
Omnipotence
Blaise Pascal
The greatest single distinguishing feature of the omnipotence of God is that our imagination gets lost when thinking about it.
Blaise Pascal
Do little things as though they were great, because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who does them in us, and who lives our life: and do the greatest things as though they were little and easy, because of His omnipotence.
Matthew Henry
We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God’s all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
