Thought this was relevant to the triune creation stuff I've been blogging. This is what you get when you mess with "Let us"...
It's also a good reminder not to make "nothing" into a big black something. To say that God creates out of nothing is not to imagine a gigantic, universe-shaped hole into which creation then slots. It means that before creation, the Father, Son and Spirit were all of reality. When He creates God is massively relativized by the cosmos. Creation is the beginning of the Lord's humbling that climaxes at the cross.
