A Confession

Each of the Themes I discussed in my previous post tends to resonate with some people more than others. That’s natural. The Christian Story is not one primarily of or for individuals but of God with Himself and illustrated with His relationship with the entire race of humanity. It makes sense why individual humans may primarily experience or emphasise one or two of those Themes and may have no understanding of some of the others – we are much too finite to possibly get all of God!

Whole religions, philosophies, cultures, and civilisations have been built on the recognition of some of these Themes at the expense of others. Even Christianity at times has chosen to highlight or ignore selected Themes. This is one of the reasons it is important to live in community, not just with those in our own home or culture, but with the holy, apostolic Church throughout the world and through the ages. We have our personal themes, and it is not wrong to have them. But we must realise that our own lives and themes are only a small bit, perhaps only one short note, in the grand Symphony.
