In the Beginning God…

My Bible reading has me in the beginning of Genesis. Having just finished Revelation, I love seeing how the beginning and end work together. But in a time as cynical and uncertain as ours, I found these words from St. Basil the Great comforting and heartening: 

“In the fear that human reasonings may make you wander from the truth, Moses has anticipated inquiry by engraving in our hearts, as a seal and a safeguard, the awesome name of God: ‘In the beginning God created.’ It is He - beneficent Nature, Goodness without measure, a worthy object of love for all beings endowed with reason, the beauty most to be desired, the origin of all that exists… - it is He who ‘in the beginning created heaven and earth.’”

Take heart, friends, because “in the beginning God.” He is good, loving, kind, patient, and above all our Rescuer. See you Sunday!

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
