About this episode
The episode explores the concept of God as an eternal discovery and the limitations of human understanding.
Scripture Matthew 16:16–17 (NIV) Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven." Refrain God is always more than I can hold. Quote Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, from The Divine Milieu "God does not offer Himself to our finite beings as a thing all complete and ready to be embraced. For us, He is eternal discovery and eternal growth. The more we think we understand Him, the more he reveals himself as otherwise. The more we think we hold him, the further He withdraws, drawing us into the depths of himself." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
