“WORSHIPING AND WAVERING”
a sermon based on Matthew 28:16-20
by Rev. Rick Thompson
A little girl
in a Sunday School class was very busily drawing something. She was using all
her colors, and her face was pinched in concentration. Her curious teacher
strolled over to watch, and finally asked, “Sweetheart, what is that you’re
drawing?”
“Well, I’m
drawing a picture of God!” the girl replied.
“That’s a
wonderful idea,” her teacher responded, “but nobody knows what God looks
like.”
To which the
girl replied without breaking her crayon strokes, “They will when I get
through!”[i]
On this
Festival of the Holy Trinity, I wish I could promise you that. I wish I could
promise you a clear and conclusive picture of God when I get through preaching
today. But I can’t. I can only hope that you will be drawn more deeply to
worship and serve the God who is, at the heart of God’s being, a deep and
profound mystery.
