There was a rich man. There was a poor man. What then do you do? Which one am I? That's how this goes. Then you try to do what fancy theologians today call: placing yourself in the story. Well, nothing can be worse. So you're sitting there trying to place yourself and you're trying to figure out: Am I the rich man or the poor man? Am I good or bad? Am I on the right or wrong side of this parable? I don't exactly have sores that the dogs are licking on so that doesn't sound too good for me. On the other hand, I'm not exactly as terrible as a rich man. Where do I fit?
Confessing [the Athanasian Creed] is like jumping into the deep end of the pool for the first time as a child: at first, you are somewhat timid, but once you jump in you can’t wait to do it again and again and again, exploring the depths, swimming in its sonorous life. A new world—indeed a new life—has been opened up to us, revealed for us in this name. For it is the life and Name of the very Triune God—who is love in Himself—that we come to know and worship whenever this creed it confessed.
