Beauty of God

So to me, Tuesday’s class’s readings and discussions was the best we have had so far in class. (not that I didn’t enjoy the other readings and discussions either)

As Christians I think we sometimes tend to reject readings, artwork, films and music that don’t immediately show God, regardless if the artistes, writer or director had created his/her work with the intentions of portraying God in it. (And to the Christians that say that they would never do or have never reject any type of art in their life, I have to stop and say that I think that at some point in everyone life they have reject something because they don’t like what the artist is trying to show us.)

As Christian, we know that no one piece of art could show the full beauty of God, how can it?

Of course, no piece of art made by man could ever capture the full glory of God, but I don’t think God ever want us to capture his full glory an beauty. I mean, if someone could capture the true beauty of God, wouldn’t that take away some of the mystery surrounding God? Look at the artists who paint with intentions of portraying God in their work, their work is all different. But by these artists representing God through the limitless mediums of art they created, they gives us the sense of how limitless and mysteries God truly is.

Isaiah 40:28 - “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, He will not grow tired or weary and his understanding no one can fathom.”
