‘Christianity’ not ‘Biblicism’
I have to remind myself of this often…
It’s called ‘Christianity,’ not ‘Biblicism.’
The nature of God is specifically revealed in Jesus,
his birth, life, death, and resurrection;
not widely in the Bible.
The Bible is the cradle of Christ Jesus
the anointed one
God’s final Word.
The Bible points towards Christ.
But it includes a lot more than that.
You can find whatever god(s) you want in the Bible.
You can find a God of wrath
or indifference
or nationalism
or ethnocentrism
Etc.
But you can only find the true God
the God of Love
in Jesus the Christ.
Jesus reveals to us
what God-in-human-flesh looks like.
Jesus shows us how this God moves.
This movement is always cruciform.
Or downward.
No one escapes this downward, cruciform movement of Christ.
Not kings or queens
or paupers or princes
or sex workers or…
