Such ...

There are various methods of reading the Bible. One of my own methods is to pay attention for quotations in Scripture. Such can indicate what is on an author's mind when they were writing. There at least a couple of quotations in 1 Timothy 1-4 that I read this morning. They are 1 Timothy 2:5 and 3:16b.

"... there is one God,

there is also one mediator between God and humankind,

Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as a ransom for all ..."

and,

"He was revealed in the flesh, vindicated in spirit, seen by angels,

proclaimed among the Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory"

This sees God as one. The words that really poke out here to me about Jesus are mediator, human, ransom, revealed, vindicated, seen, proclaimed, believed in, and taken up.

Such began my day well.
