For several weeks now, I’ve been listening to audio recordings of Thomas F. Torrance’s (TFT) lectures which I got on the internet. I’m so inspired by the things I’ve been learning through this great theologian about the life and love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in which all of humanity has been included through Jesus Christ.

This blog site is about life and love in Jesus Christ. May I share with you TFT’s closing prayer at the end of his Lecture 3 on the Mediation of Christ at the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1981. I find it quite inspiring and so filled with meaning:

God is Life and Love

“O God, we are dumbfounded before the magnitude of thy love. Thou thyself has not held thyself aloof from us. But has become one of us, joined thyself to us in our littleness and in our estrangement in order to gather us, broken, divided humanity together into one in Jesus, that we may share in the life and love which thou eternally art as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mediate to us in a new way through this Jesus, communion with thee and communion with one another. And through him to thee, the Father and the Holy Spirit one God eternal, be our worship and thanksgiving. Amen.”
