The God of Contradictions

"Don't you think the Bible contradicts itself?"  asks a friend.

"Yes, of course, it does," I reply; "the world is full of contradictions united only in God and by God."

Only God Himself can be far above the earth and yet closer to us than a brother. Only God can fashion a virgin mother or make sinners holy while they are still sinners.  Only God can put His own Spirit of truth into delusional and even lying hearts. 

Only God can make Himself incarnate and suffer in the flesh, so carying the impossible burdens of His beloved children.  Truly He carries within His own heart all of our contradictions, uniting them within His own Person.  Truly He bears our sufferings and becomes our peace.
