A Thought From Under the Heavens

I can’t see stuff like this enough. I’m both humbled and terrified of the God I love and who loves me and made and sustains it all. And that for his renown entered into it as a baby ~2K years ago. Yes, I am a Christian!
 
All of this space. All of the unfathomable sizes of it illustrate just one Bible verse: “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9. Seems extravagant to us perhaps, yes, but, I see it and I get it God. I get it. Only all the more in the technology man has made as beings made in your image. It was nothing for you. All of the heavens get but a brief sentence or so in your book: “…He made the stars also.” Genesis 1:16. But oh, how your love is exhastively displayed in Christ!
 
Friend, you’ve a life to live. And I pray it’s filled with good things. When it’s over you’ll face the Being who made it all. It is literally measured with the palm of his hand. See Isaiah 40:12. He is holy and filled with wrath against your sin. You have broken his Ten Commandments. His Law is good and calls for your death. You are not a good person in his eyes. Just look at his standard. Let your conscience speak. Without the Cross of Jesus, without a Savior, you will be cut in pieces. His hell is out there.
 
Repent and believe the good news. Christ has died, he has risen from the dead, and he will come again. Come today and welcome to Jesus Christ! Biblecia.com/Gospel/
