John 1:1-13
Today I would like to talk to you about a different kind of wave. . . it is a wave of grace. . . In his book, The Road Less Travelled, M. Scott Peck describes a natural force in our world we call entropy. . . it most known by its implications in the second law of thermodynamics.
A movement of order, out of chaos.
Thermodynamics: a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. The second law of thermodynamics says that entropy always increases with time. We tend to move away from order, into chaos.
In creation, things seem to move from a creative order toward disorder. . . unless Grace enters the picture.
EMANANCE – Grace emanates down from an eternal God to men
IMMANENCE – Grace immanates out from God within the center of man’s being
