1. Almighty God Quietly Walked into the Heart of Each of Us
God is silent, and has never appeared to us, yet His work has never stopped. He looks upon all lands, and commands all things, and beholds all the words and deeds of man. His management is conducted in steps and according to His plan. It proceeds silently, without dramatic effect, yet His footsteps advance ever closer to mankind, and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe at the speed of lightning, immediately followed by the descent of His throne among us. What a majestic scene that is, what a stately and solemn tableau. Like a dove, and like a roaring lion, the Spirit arrives among us all. He is wise, He is righteous and majestic,
He quietly arrives among us possessed of authority and filled with love and compassion. No one is aware of God’s arrival, no one welcomes God’s arrival, and, moreover, no one knows all that God will do, no one knows all that God will do. Man’s life remains unchanged; his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual.
God lives among us like an ordinary person, as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer. No one is aware of God’s arrival, no one welcomes God’s arrival, and, moreover, no one knows all that God will do, no one knows all that God will do. Man’s life remains unchanged; his heart is no different, and the days go by as usual. God lives among us like an ordinary person, as a most insignificant follower and an ordinary believer. He has His own pursuits, His own goals, and, moreover, He has divinity not possessed by ordinary men. No one has noticed the existence of His divinity, and no one has perceived the difference between His substance and that of man.
We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid, for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer. He watches, watches our every move, and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him. We live together with Him, unconstrained and unafraid, for we see Him as nothing more than an insignificant believer. He watches, watches our every move, and all of our thoughts and ideas are laid bare before Him. No one takes an interest in God’s existence, no one has any imagination of His function, and, moreover, no one has any suspicion about who He is.
We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us…. We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us…. We merely continue our pursuits, as if God has nothing to do with us…. And yet it is this ordinary person hidden among people who is doing the new work of saving us. He does not clarify anything for us, nor does He tell us why He has come. He merely does the work He intends to do in steps, and according to His plan.
His words and utterances become ever more frequent. From consoling, exhorting, reminding, and warning, to reproaching and disciplining; from a tone that is gentle and kind, to words that are fierce and majestic—they all instill both compassion and trepidation in man. Everything that He says hits home at the secrets hidden deep within us, His words sting our hearts, sting our spirits, and leave us ashamed and humiliated. From Him we enjoy an unending supply of living water, and thanks to Him we live face-to-face with God. Unbeknownst to us, this insignificant man has led us into step after step of God’s work. We undergo countless trials, are subjected to innumerable chastenings, and tested by death. We learn of God’s righteous and majestic disposition, enjoy, too, His love and compassion, come to appreciate God’s great power and wisdom, witness the loveliness of God, and behold God’s eager desire to save man.
