Peter Pan isn’t the sword-wielding, swashbuckling, pirate-swallowing story you remember. It’s actually a beautiful adoption story. It’s about family and the adoption of sons by righteous fathers. Likewise, Jesus is the Son of God so that we can be adopted as children of God.
Jesus Has Power Over Death
January 9, 2021 • Anthony Delgado
You cannot believe that God died to rescue you from wrath for sins without living a life to be free from sins. You also cannot live a life free of sins without believing that Jesus is Lord. It doesn’t compute. If you believe in Jesus, you follow him in the way he lived. If you don’t believe in Jesus, you do whatever you think is right in your own eyes.
I want this to unsettle the way you think about Christianity. Too many people become Christians because they want Jesus to help them live their life better.
Trinitarian Spirituality
December 31, 2023 • Anthony Delgado • Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19–20
Trinity only needs to mean ‘a group of three things. Referring to God, the Trinity means that God expresses himself to us as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
There is only one God with three expressions.
Deuteronomy 6:4 “Listen, Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”
* The Singular God’s expression as transcendent Father
* The Singular God’s expression as the immanent Son
* The Singular God’s expression as omnipresent Spirit
Christians know the transcendent Father through the immanent Son, and although they do not see him, he is always present with them as the Holy Spirit.
