Is creation a sacrament? What of those who say they have discovered in nature and the outdoors a meaningful connection, or nearness, to God? What would it look like to have a sacramental view of God’s creation? In this Seven Minute Seminary, Dr. Jason Vickers explains in what ways we can relate to creation as a sacrament. He suggests we first define sacrament—as an outward sign of an inward grace—but then challenges us to consider the ways in which sacraments point us to Jesus Christ.
Psalm 19; Matthew 6:25-34; Romans 1:20.
