Ger Jones asks if we have a tendency to reduce God into a reflection of ourselves rather than listen to God’s own definition of himself. He quotes Tim Keller, “if we find that we’re worshipping a God that never disagrees with us, we’re worshipping an idealised version of ourselves”. Disagreement can make for a real and authentic relationship – which is ultimately what we long for.Ger explains how God reveals himself throughout the Bible in personhood terms and yet this is different to being human. Sharing from Exodus 3:13-14, we hear how God revealed himself when speaking to Moses.
