"God ... hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son ... by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2)
Would it startle you if I dared to say that the living God has never done anything in His universe apart from Jesus Christ?
Christians seem to be woefully unaware of the full meaning and measure of the grace of God. Why should we question God's provision when the Holy Spirit tells us through the Apostle John that the Word who became flesh is 'full of grace and truth"? Brethren, the stars in their courses, the frogs that croak beside the lake, the angles in heaven above and men and women on earth below - all came out of the channel we call the eternal Word.
In the book of Revelation, John bears record of the whole universe joining to give praise to the Lamb that was slain. Under the earth and on the earth and above the earth, John heard creatures praising Jesus Christ, all joining in a great chorus: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing" (5;12).
Yes, surely the entire universe is beneficiary of God's rich grace in Jesus Christ!
Lord, I praise Your name. You alone are worthy of all my adoration. Help me to walk uprightly today as a testimony to Your presence in my life. Amen
