It’s as if God gave us an infinite playing field of pure mathematical possibilities.

One person spends a whole lifetime searching out just one narrow field of number theory, all the wonderful theorems, truths, and relationships discoverable in one life by one person. Another spends a lifetime doing tedious work to support a family of no great distinction but infinitely related to other unremarkable families.

All possibilities get played out. It’s as if God had enough FAITH in the universe to create mankind, and enough Faith in Mankind to re-create God. So great Faith has no other had, to give His life that others might live.

We aren’t used to thinking about the great Faith of God. We think about how great Faith people have, such as Abraham, who is rightly honored for his Faith in God. But God had even greater Faith.

For God, being infinite in intelligence, life, and grace, had such great Faith and Love that He scattered His essence out amongst the stars, exploded His vitality in a burst of the Great Bang to populate the cosmos with life-stuff, having Faith that He would ultimately be re-created, be enriched, (even in His aboriginal infinitude) by the life experience of countless noble beings made possible by His sacrifice.

Glory be to God, for such Faith as this has no mere man.
