It’s amazing where thinking about the attributes of God can take you. As I was trying to decide whether grace was an attribute of God or the action that comes out of another attribute of God, I stumbled across mercy. Is mercy an attribute of God? Maybe we would express it as merciful? I don’t know, but someday I will.
That made me think about having a resurrected mind and the abilities that that would offer me to understand the things of God. Then add to that being in the presence of God and having His glory and His holiness shining upon me with a free mind. I wondered what it would be like with a resurrection mind to come across a great truth that I’ve never thought of before. And my thought was that perhaps it would be like that first time that I tasted pepperoni pizza.
Can our minds have taste buds? It seems kind of strange, but we’ve all had times, I hope, where the glory of God has touched us briefly. I can remember times when the glory of the world around me and God’s nature have seemed to penetrate the dense barrier of my ability to think. I can remember a few times when I, a non-Pentecostal, have had shouting spells. It makes me wonder if I will have constant shouting spells as I sit around the throne shouting, “Hallelujah”.
It’s all beyond my comprehension, but then so is eternity. If it were comprehensible to me a mere human, it wouldn’t be graced with God’s eternal nature.
So much to enjoy now. So much to look forward to.
