The Deep End-- In the arms of God

One way of knowing that it’s God’s word we’re hearing when listening to scripture is when it disturbs us. When we try to convince ourselves that we haven’t heard what we know we have. When we feel its challenge and flee it. But when it catches up with us, all doubt should go.

Today’s Gospel reading (Matt11:25-30) carries that word, guaranteed to deflate any overblown egos within hearing range. It’s that bit about the Father hiding certain ‘things’ from the wise and the learned and revealing them to mere infants. How odd of God to choose that ruse! - to paraphrase British journalist William Norman Ewer (1885-1976).

It must be to put us in our place: the place for ‘infants’, for the ‘little ones’, the disciples of Jesus who had no learning as the scribes and Pharisees had, and who had no social standing either. The ‘things’ kept hidden were the signs Jesus worked as pointers to God’s kingdom already present among us. Those best trained to recognise them were the very ones who couldn’t. Book learning stands for zilch.

Personal effort can’t propel us into the mind of God. Merely pouring over the scriptures is a useless exercise. The more we pour, the more we bore. Now there’s a thorny thought for bible-belters and pulpit- thumpers!

Better to be a little one in the eyes of God than a learned one in the eyes of man. Better to know your place as an infant: in the loving arms of God.
