What do you think as you look at this picture? Isn't it magnificent? How tiny that man looks (compared to the mountains, the lake, the trees, and the sky—even the grass and the rocks.
I think as that man sits there looking it all over, he must be awed by the handiwork of God. I know that when look at this picture, I cannot help but be amazed at people who will say there is no God. No God, when His work stares us in the face!
But what amazes me still more is that though we are so small compared to those mountains and .lakes, so sinful as compared to God's perfect standard of holiness, yet God could look down on us, we who never did one good deed for Him, and love us. Yes, He loved us so much He wanted. us to come and live with Him in heaven someday—-live there for all eternity. And you know how long eternity is don't you? Why it is forever and. ever – it just never ends!
But God tells us that not one sin can enter heaven, and so God sent His well-beloved Son down into this earth. Why? To die for us so that we, through the Mood He shed while hanging on that cruel shameful cross to which He was nailed, could have every sin washed away and be made fit for His presence. Do you believe it? I do. Will you not take the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour today, and then we will meet in that home above—in Heaven?
