God Attribute, 2

 ~ A God of Action ~

 

This Series  ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  Many view Jesus Christ as a meek, mild, kind of “milk toast and honey” kind of feminine kind of guy.  But Scripture portrays Him quite differently.  Keep in mind that the Biblical word meek which is used to describe Him has the meaning of “strength under control.”

 

Scripture  ~  “Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.  And He said to them, ‘It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer,” but you have made it a “den of thieves”’” (Matthew 21:12-13).

 

Comment ~  All three members of the triune God are omnipotent which means they each have unlimited power.  The historical accounts in the four Gospels show that Jesus Christ is both omnipotent and meek.  Contemplate for a moment the importance of the important balance of those two attributes.
