Worship



Elohim, YHWH, Yahweh, Adonai, Yehovah.

The ancient names carry power, wisdom and authority.

They conjure up images of pillars of fire, of power so unimaginably huge that it almost seems it belongs in some fantasy novel.

Here's another name, Jesus.

Doesn't seem so daunting does it?

Does it?

People throw it around common place these days, use it like a profanity.

To me, that name is about a power so vast that in ancient times they dared not even speak its name aloud, being poured into a vessel fragile as glass.

How can we possibly comprehend what happened?

That a God that measures galaxies in the span of his hand, can be nailed to a tree by people like you and me?

It pains me to even write it.

no other words I can find but this;

Holy, holy, holy.

holy is the Lord.

See the coming of the king.

Holy is the Lord
