Pantheon

"I said, 'You are gods,'" Psalm 82:6.

Who said? God said. To whom said? To those set up as god(s): Greek, Roman, Teutonic, whatever, pantheon; (even, one's own self) judges all. God, the Most Holy God, the only eternal God, in whom alone rests immortality, Creator of the cosmos, this God judges any other so-called god. And God, this God, blessed be he for ever, says to the divine council gathered before him: How long will you (O, gods!) show partiality to the wicked? You should rescue the weak and needy, instead! Therefore, you gods shall die and fall like mortals! ...Jesus, whom mortals accused of blasphemy for claim as son of God, quotes the above scripture (which cannot be broken). God (to whom alone all glory and honor and power and dominion!) designates Jesus as his son by resurrecting the slain Lamb from the dead. Now Jesus sits at the right hand of Majesty in the sky!

With a brother or sister today, we marvel of things beyond our ken, in awe of this God who receives One of us in his holiness. And, receiving One of us, receives us. Together, with all creation, we bow and worship: To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and power for ever!
