It is said that when Leonardo DaVinci was painting the picture of the Last Supper he finished painting, all the faces except one.  He could not bring himself to paint the face of Jesus.  He didn’t feel worthy.  He eventually completed it, and spent much less time on Jesus’ face than any of the others.  He just couldn’t dwell on it.  Just thinking about the Holiness of Christ, the Holiness of God gave him great pause.  And that is how I feel about talking about the Holiness of God; Unworthy. Today we would have sang Holy, Holy, Holy, which may be my favorite hymn.  I love to sing it in Church with the help of Angela and Rick.  We sang it often as a congregational hymn.  I try to keep us from singing it too often, but I love to sing it.  I can really get into worship in the midst of that song: Holy, Holy, Holy!  Lord God Almighty      Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, Holy, holy!  Merciful and mighty      God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

Ephesians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the Christians in Ephesus, a city in what is now Western Turkey.  Paul’s letter to Ephesus contains a lot about God’s Love, Mercy, and Grace.  Last week we talked about the Love of God, so today I want to look more closely at God’s Mercy and Grace.  Mercy and Grace are not just some feelings God has sitting all around heaven in baskets.  Mercy and Grace are part of God’s make-up.  They are part of Who He is!  Anytime you sense God’s presence in your life you can know all His Mercy and Grace are there surrounding you.

The Holy Bible is all about God’s Love.  It is all about Jesus Christ, Who was God’s Love personified.  When Jesus came He brought many things to us.  He came to show us how to live.  He came to show us how to die.  And He came to show us God’s Love.

• God's Almighty Power

As our Omnipotent Creator, Jesus Christ is All-Powerful.  He relinquished that power to come in human form to deliver us from our sin.  But, as our Creator-God, He is again, All-Powerful. Jesus, our Creator has prepared a place for us in His Cosmos that allows us to live, prosper and worship Him.  He had designed a perfect world for us.  But, since the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden we live in a fallen world and pay the price for it through all problems that surround us.

• God's All-Knowing Wisdom

The Omniscience of God speaks to the fact that God is all-knowing.  He knows everything.  He knows everything that has happened, is happening and will happen.  For me to think that there is something that God does not know means that there is something outside of His realm, outside of His control, He is limited.  And for Him to be an all-powerful God, for Him to be the Almighty, there can be nothing that is outside of His realm, nothing that limits Him or is not controlled by Him.

There are far more Attributes or Characteristics of God than we can ever begin to cover even in a protracted sermon series. I believe there are far more Attributes of God than we have ever seen, or will see, at least on this side of heaven. He is like a diamond with a myriad of facets. Every different way you look at Him you see something new. So, during this series we are going to limit ourselves to several of the aspects of God that seem to touch us and influence us most.
