The funny thing about the future is where your past finds you...

My last blog post was three years ago. It was about trying to understand atonement theology better. I said it might be a bit clearer if I actually studied it. Well, that is what I am doing now. At least for this year.

I am almost at the end of my first semester which has been a massive blur of Greek, Hebrew, some things that I have hated, and some things that I have loved. Various reasons mean it has been a crazy journey to get to this point. Talking with a friend the other day he was amazed that I'm still a Christian, let alone at Bible College. I don't often stop to be grateful that I'm here, and that I'm still with Christ. His grace towards me is so unbelievably great.

Tonight I looked up a quote I had written down on this blog... and since I'm now reading a lot, and thinking a lot, I realised this might be a good spot for the overflow of my failing brain.

"Now, who is like to that royal King, crowned in Zion! Where shall I get a seat for real Majesty to set him on? If I could set Him as far above the heaven as thousand thousands of heights devised by men and angels, I should think him but too low. I pray you, for God's sake, my dear sister, to help me to praise. His love has neither brim nor bottom; His love is like Himself, it passes all natural understanding. I go to fathom it with my arms; but it is as if a child would take the globe of sea and land in his two short arms. Blessed and holy is His name!"

Samuel Rutherford
