"What cannot be seen about God is seen clearly, being understood from the world's creation: his eternal power and god-ness," Romans 1:20.
That's totally weird. The invisible things are seen? How can you see what you can't see? Well, whatever it is, it can be seen clearly somehow. Clearly. From the very start, from the get-go, of all creation it's been understood. This invisible thing. These invisible things. OK. What are the invisible things that somehow are perceived ever since the beginning? Here's what: God's eternal power. And. God's god-ness. God's divinity. God's deity. (That's why we say: God. And why we don't say: something.) Therefore: every human being is without excuse when we worship anything that is not God. When we wrong each other. No excuses. We knew. Clearly.
With a brother or sister today, we confess anew need for forgiveness. And, together, we joy in the Good News of forgiveness through Jesus. And, together, we give thanks to this God who, clearly, shows his love to us in Jesus.
