Isa
40:25 (ESV) To whom then will you compare me,
that I
should be like him? says the Holy One.
NOTE: Our problem is
that we want to put God in a box, or more properly, something that we can
define so that we can categorize and explain him. But Isaiah 40 makes it clear
that you can't, no matter how hard you try. And so, you can't even use worldly
arguments on Him, since your basis is so limited (specifically this world). He
is so far beyond our ability to understand, appreciate, or gauge. But we make
silly arguments against Him as if he were human like us and was forced to fit
in the parameters of our life and understanding. How foolish we are! It really
is quite STUPID to think that way. So, we can't fully understand him, but he is
not completely transcendent. He desires a relationship with us. He sent his son
(also hard to understand) so that we could have a glimpse of him. The son,
Jesus, is the exact imprint of his nature (Heb 1:3). And the son helps us to
understand his concern and his desire for our life. And yet, we don't even want
to believe that--because that would make us think. And thinking is dangerous,
because we might have to act or change our behavior. What a foolish people we
are. We do so need to repent of our stubborn prideful hearts and admit how
wrong we are about God.
