Who is stranger than God?

We worship the unknown God, YHWH, who’s wisdom is mistaken for foolishness and who’s strength is mistaken for weakness. Who confounds our expectations and transcends our understanding. He offers us hope too good to be true – world transformation, bodily resurrection – through a life too tragic to comprehend, that of Jesus of Nazareth. God is strange. God greets us as strangers. Yet God knows us more than we know ourselves.
