infinite

“God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you."
- Exodus 3:14
 

Theologian John Frame defines God's infinity as "a general term, indicating God's transcendence of the creation. We are finite and limited; he is not. What that mainly means is that our powers are limited by our weakness; God's are not." God's infinity is shown in our verse today. When the Lord, the God who revealed himself to Moses, says that he should tell Israel that "I am" sent Moses to them, he is saying that he is altogether separate from his creation as the Creator. He transcends space and time and lacks any deficiency whatsoever. Nothing in all of his creation bounds, restrains or confines the Lord in any way, shape or form. He is the infinite God.

So what does this mean for you today? It means that you can go to him in prayer and confess to him those things that bind you, restrain you and confine you. You can bring to him your struggles, frustrations and challenges because you know that as the infinite God, he not only hears you but has the power to move on your behalf. In and through Jesus Christ, God has become a human and fully identifies with our limitations. In him, the infinite God took upon himself our finitude without losing his infinite nature. And he, as the author of Hebrews explains, sympathizes with our weaknesses, has been tempted as we are, and yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15). So bring all that you are to the Savior. The infinite God welcomes you with open arms and amazing grace.

For Jesus,
Pastor Mark
