It's Oh SO Quiet...... Well at least Blogging wise it has been for my patch....
Last week I was back at Cliff College for a intensive lecture week towards a MA and what was to turn out to be my last full lecture week, my final paper before my dissertation will be a independent research study.
Tuesday night was the college celebration the fortnightly service.
The preacher that night asked what image of Jesus what image of God do you carry. that may seem like a simple and easy question but its far from it. I Like many others have been watching the New ITV series Eternal law, the story about a group of angles who work among us these ones are lawyers. Not most peoples idea when describing lawyers but for those of us who have a different opinion then there a fallen angel who tries to work against them. The salvation story runs through so do the themes of hope, reconciliation and peace. One of the images that comes through in the programme is that of the God who punisishs as one episode brings this with the idea that Mr Mountjoy (God) seems almost determined to destroy the world if the angels fail to save everyone. This misses the love and reaching out to the world that took place when Mountjoy Jr (Jesus) came into the world. the image of God that we carry shapes our actions and views.

We can easily slip into a wrong image of God, the preacher that night gave the image of Jesus found in the gospels ( matthew, mark, Luke and John..) the question Do you have this image of Jesus.
My answer wasn't the answer I had thought it would be... whats yours
I like eternal law. But it's not a perfect picture of God is it?
ReplyDeleteInteresting stories surfacing though. hope there is a second series.
Yeah the characters has been very well done and some of the wording has been very thoughtful.. the comment the other week about the other laywer being demonic not stupid..
ReplyDeleteNot a perfect image of God.. but one that makes you think
