I have always loved Romans 8, but I never took the time to truly dive into it. But, the Passion translation's poetry caught me and caused me to sit in the wonder and awe of God.
The phrase "His glory has magnitude" blesses me.
In astronomy, magnitude references brightness compared to lesser lights.
In Math, magnitude references the distance a number is from zero.
In science, magnitude references it is the energy released.
In physics, magnitude references the power or force that can be measured going forth.
What a word choice!
God's glory is so bright all others dim. There is no other so bright like Him.
God's glory was in time at zero and moved forward at the beginning of creation. He is beyond time. He was, is and will be.
God's glory has been releasing its power ever since with a force that is immeasurable or scalable. It is a mystery. We catch hints of it, but never fully see it.
Selah!
It is fun to be in the Word, to be with Jesus, to be transformed.
Shalom y'all!
