Comentary on "The Shack"

I have been reading bits and pieces of “The Shack” again. I have heard that there are some that have trouble with the way the author presented God and especially the triune God that is a foundation to the Christian faith. Personally it has clarified some things that have never made sense to me the way man has tried to explain them.
After reading the following excerpt from chapter 8, I am beginning to realize that the basis of the trinity is love. Love is the bond and unity is the explanation for the trinity. Because we humans base our relationships around authority and power we have no grid for this kind of relationship so we try to explain it like an egg or water as steam, liquid and ice. To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him? Isaiah 40:18 These are human ways of understanding something awesome. This is all we have. Can we just admit that there is a higher way? The way is simply love. The Beatles had it right and we missed it.
The following explains the great rift between God’s ways and human ways.
“…We have no concept of final authority among us, only unity. We are in a circle of relationship, not a chain of command or “great chain of being” as your ancestors termed it. What you’re seeing here is relationship without any overlay of power. We don’t need power over the other because we are always looking out for the best. Hierarchy would make no sense among us. Actually, this is your problem not ours.
Really, how so?
Humans are so lost and damaged that to you it is almost incomprehensible that people could work or live together without someone being in charge…If you had truly learned to regard each other’s concerns as significant as your own there would be no need for hierarchy.”
Is this what Jesus is trying to get across to us in chapter 17 of John’s gospel?
I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one just as You and I are one – as you are in me Father and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe that you sent me.
These thoughts are rocking my little religious world and I love it! It is a paradigm shift. God is always bigger than me and that is comforting. His thoughts are nothing like my thoughts and his ways are far beyond anything I could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth so are His ways higher than mine and his thoughts higher than mine. (And remember we still don’t know how high the heavens are from the earth.) Isaiah 55:8-9
Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord? Who knows enough to give Him advice or teach Him? Isaiah 40:13
We have reduced the creator to our way of thinking rather than humbling ourselves and admitting that our ways are shallow and our thoughts are limited.
God is love 1st John 3:16 God has power but He is Love.
