The following quote in Bonhoeffer’s own words, regarding Michaelango’s masterpiece work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel - more specifically about the portion regarding God’s creation of Adam - caused me to reflect more on the intricate character of the unique, mighty God that we are called to serve:
God is all that we are not and cannot be. Amazing, isn't it?
"I was hardly able to move past Adam. There is an inexhaustible abundance of ideas in the picture. The figure of God reverberates with colossal power and tender love, or rather with the divine attributes that supersede these two human attributes that are often far removed from each other." (Metaxas, 64)
