God, you, and the Pail blue dot
In the book of Job we read,
"He spreads out the northern skies
over empty space;
He suspends the earth over nothing."
Job 26:7
For someone who had never seen a picture taken from space. Job got the description right.
Take a look at the image. Earth is incredibly small in comparison to the universe. If we didn’t know we lived there we could dismiss it as nothing.
Yet God didn’t consider us nothing. God chose to enter this pail blue dot on which we live. This pail blue dot He created. He did so in the form of Christ Jesus. He did so to point mankind to heaven.
The apostle John writes,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
In him was life, and that life was the light of men....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. " John 1:1-4,14.
Jesus speaking of himself said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
The apostle Paul writes,
"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9,10.
Do you believe in God?
Do you believe that Jesus is Lord?
Please think about it.
