“Helpful look at God's attributes”
God’s omnipotence is typically a given—God is all-powerful. But did you know that there are, in fact, things that God can’t do? So what does that mean about the status of God’s power? In this new book from @thegoodbookcompanyusa, 12 Things God Can’t Do …and how they can help you sleep at night, Nick Tucker shows how God is greater than we even realize *because* of what God can’t do: God can’t learn; God can’t change; God can’t suffer; God can’t be tempted; God can’t lie; God can’t disown himself. And Tucker discusses six more things too. He also includes five interludes throughout the book that “wrestle with how, in the incarnation, God did the very things he cannot do”: sleep, learn, be seen, suffer and die, and be tempted. All these aspects (or non-aspects) of God and Jesus should be a comfort to us. •••
Tucker writes, “God is not like you. He is unimaginably great. All this means that we will never understand God entirely from God's point of view. We are dealing with a God who is beyond our comprehension. As creatures made in God's image, our minds are uniquely fitted to know and understand him—yet when even the greatest minds try to grasp his greatness, they reach a point where they have to give up and worship instead.”
