More Majestic than the Waves of the Sea: Theological Studies
Synopsis
The search for God is an act of the intellect of a person who is open and invited to the infinite. We must be aware that we only want to and dare to go in search of God because someone has already gone in search of us: God first sought man. This is man's security and hope. From creation, through the incarnation, to redemption, we are witnesses to this search. The search has continued ever since. From both sides. For he who is mightier than the roaring of the waters or the roaring of the sea draws near to man. This does not mean that God is louder than any noise we can hear. He comes to us out of silence. God's silence is louder and more powerful than anything else. He breaks through the wall of silence and comes to us in Christ Jesus. The second divine Person rips open the curtain of God's great "stage" and allows the creature a glimpse into the depths of the ineffable and inexpressible inner life of the Trinity. If one dares to approach God's stage and really see even a small detail of it, one can admire the resounding silence of God: the forces of nature are impressive and awesome, but God is not in them. We can understand that God is not to be found in the great and mighty storm - which turns the mountains upside down and crushes the rocks - nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, nor even in the roar of the sea. God comes in a gentle breeze. When God touches our faces with the whisper of a gentle breeze, he causes us to cover our faces and go out into the world (cf. 1 Kings 19:11-13; Ps 93:4). This volume is the fruit of that divine touch.
