Our High Priest pierces with his Word
The heart laying bare, cutting to the bone,
Then flayed inside out by His Sword,
Ascend we up with Him before the throne.

#Apocalypse is the unveiling to faith of the new creation as yet hidden from our eyes behind the ugly shapes of sinful history. #Torrance

#Vigilantia
With lifted hands in the night,
(We pray for some light,
For the path to be walking)
We wait for the morning.
#Augustine #Psalm143

[Troy Lizenby @TLizenby]

“’Make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I must walk.’ Walk by the lamp of the word of God.” #Augustine #Psalm143

“’Teach me to do your will, for You are my God.’ (v.10) Glorious confession! Glorious rule!” #Augustine #Psalm143

Rather than ‘already but not yet’, new creation ‘already consummated & waiting for eschatological unfolding’ (Torrance). @uribrito #tbt

From His baptism among sinners at the Jordan
To His baptism in blood on the cross,
Christ increased His identity with sinful man.
-T. F. Torrance

[Troy Lizenby @TLizenby]

The New Adam descends,
Veiled in our humanity,
But true God was unveiled,
True Man raised in victory.
(Adapted, T F Torrance, Incarnation)

The Word invaded time,
Joining the temporal,
Braking history’s fall,
He opened a portal,
Communion eternal.
-Thomas F. Torrance, Incarnation

[Troy Lizenby @TLizenby]

He Who descended
To make our lost cause His own,
Also ascended
To sit as Man on His throne.

His humbling Himself to become flesh
Is His condescension,
His will to enter our existence
Is our exaltation.
-Thomas F. Torrance, Incarnation

[Troy Lizenby @TLizenby]

He speaks
& His Word reveals
One Christ
In His deity
& humanity.
He works
& His work atones.
What He is & does
Are one whole,
One reality
Realized.
– Thomas F.Torrance

[Troy Lizenby @TLizenby]

Slowly the contours of the face of God
Thru history, covenant, law & liturgy
Come into focus but in faint relief
Perfected at last in the Face of Jesus Christ
– Thomas F. Torrance, Incarnation
