Mystery and Paradox

  

God revealed itself with the Big Bang.
The Christ existed from eternity.

Jesus is fully God.
Jesus is fully human.

Jesus is at once both God and human.
Jesus is God coming to live with us in human form.

What actions of Jesus were human?
What actions of Jesus were Divine?

Jesus died.
We killed God.

Jesus was resurrected.

All of this is a mystery.
All of this is a paradox.

Our human minds want certainty.
If we let them, mystery and paradox open us to God.

They have much to reveal.
They open us to new worlds.

They open us to unspeakable beauty.
They remove judgmental filters.

They teach us how to see with new eyes.
They show us how to love.

And so I will embrace both mystery and paradox.
It is here that I will find God.
