The Power of God

7/25/2025

Odds are, when you hear the phrase “The Power of God,” some clear images come into your mind: images of a God who is almighty, great, the alpha and omega, judge of the earth, and mighty king. But Scripture is faithful to also inform us that our God’s power is one marked by self-giving love, incarnated within a place, humble, lowly, and a spirit of service. God doesn’t need mighty steeds, ominous thrones or displays of dominance. Instead, God chooses to exhibit power through Jesus — a different kind of King. The gospels reveal to us Jesus’ use of power, and that power is subversive, meek, peaceful, and kind. Jesus’ power is found in the cross. It is the kind of power that transforms dead things into fully alive creatures. So, what does any of this have to do with ecological care as God’s people?

The answer is: Everything.
