Required reading
Miscellaneous Observations on Important Theological Subjects in Vol 2 of the Works by Jonathan Edwards (Available from Amazon or free here) - Read Part II.
My summary
This week Edwards gives us some observations on the mysteries in Scripture, including:
(i) the incarnation;
(ii) the trinity;
(iii) the suffering of infants.
What grabbed me
I liked Edwards' comments on the mystery of the incarnation:
'There is nothing impossible or absurd in the doctrine of the incarnation of Christ. If God can join a body and a rational soul together, which are of natures so heterogeneous and opposite, that they cannot, of themselves, act one upon another; may he not be able to join two spirits together, which are of natures more similar? And, if so, he may, for ought we know to the contrary, join the soul or spirit of a man to himself.'
Amen!
