Beyond Comprehension. Worship: May 31, 2026

We usually think of ourselves as small, humble creatures. We are subject to the creation in which we live and often are at the mercy of the forces around us. But we are reminded in Genesis that we are the crown of God’s creation, part and parcel of all He has made. We cannot understand Him, but we know enough. That is Peter’s reminder to those who executed Jesus: He did not stay dead but was able to overcome the forces opposed to Him—for us! We have work to do, Jesus tells the disciples and us in the Gospel. But we do not have to do it alone. Though we cannot understand Him, God is with us each day in His strength, mercy, and forgiving love. In short, we need not comprehend our great God; we only receive all the love He has for us. “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:1).
