Our vocabulary is terribly diminutive in its ability to describe even the least of who Jesus is, of the Word of life that spoke power of epic proportions into the creation of the earth. Our vocabulary cannot even come close to describing the power station on which His words of grace and truth are founded. The Words that spoke Light, separating it out from a darkness that could not comprehend it and ignited the universe of this world, came from the same life and person that spoke to us on this earth, declaring the mystery of His grace for grace upon grace.
In response I started researching synonyms for 'amazing', 'power' and 'greatness' and came across Brobdingnagian. It refers to something of tremendous size and power. It was first described in Gulliver's travel as they encountered giants 100s of times greater than themselves. This may be a better adjective to describe the grace bought for us through Jesus. This grace is not a nice little idea, like a loving peck on the cheek. This grace is ferociously powerful, backed by the nuclear power plant of Jesus' infinite life and the growing prodigious love of a Father.
I am using Brobdingnagian and grace together as the inspiration for this blog. In faith I pray that it inspires me to share reflections on our Father whose infinite character demands that we at least try to catch a daily glimpse, even just a reflection of His worth. Who would dare be given a map to a treasure chest of unimaginable value and not make the effort to find it?
