SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN !
All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. john 1:3. Everything was made by JESUS CHRIST-- even this day. I was outside this morning, enjoying the warmth of the oregon sun... Our sun is big-- so big that 1.3 million of our earths could fit inside. It is small, however, compared to antares, a star in our galaxy. Antares is so big that 64 of our suns could fit inside of it. But antares is a relatiely dinky star. Hecules is a big star. One hundred ten million antares could fit inside hecules. So, 110 million antares, each big enough to hold 64 of our suns, which are big enough to hold 1.3 million of our earths could fit into hecules. When you stop to consider such things, we on this earth are just specks on a speck. And yet most of the time we think we're pretty 'speck-tacular,' don't we? Now put down your telescope, pick up your microscope, and consider a drop of water, which is equaly amazing... Think back to junior high science class, and you will recall that each molecule of water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. If you were to take all of the atoms in only a single drop of water, and were able to enlarge each to the size of a grain of sand, do you know how much sand you would have? You would have enough sand to make a slab of concrete one foot thick and one half mile high, stretching from san fransisco to new york city. 'All things were created by HIM... 'declared paul, speaking of JESUS(collossians 1:16, emphasis mine) Scientists call the atomic force which holds together the nucleus of the atom 'atomic glue.' The bible, however, identifies this mysterious atomic glue as JESUS CHRIST, for 'by HIM all things consist,' or hold together(collossions1:17, emphasis mine). There is coming a day when JESUS will let go HIS hold on the atom, resulting in chaos and utter devastation (II peter 3). But in this day of grace, HE continues to hold the galaxies, the atoms, and our lives together. Why do you exist today? You were made by HIM. You were made for HIM. And if you don't give your life to HIM, like errant atoms, you're going to fall apart. Life is not going to make sense. You're going to wonder what you're doing, where your going, why you're living. The secret of life is found here in the prologue of john, for, indeed, all things were made by HIM. GOD bless you my brothers and sisters. By jon couson, author
