Last night a Christian astronomer spoke at our church. He has a giant telescope and his photos of the universe have been published in some of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world.
Dr. Richard Hammer is a chemistry professor at Evangel University, and his work with astronomy began as a hobby. Now he’s teaching astronomy as well. He showed us several awesome photos and pointed out earth is only a little speck humankind can see through the windshield of our technology.
He reminded us David asked, “What is man that God is mindful of him?” Then Hammer pointed out the wonder that God does pay attention to us and Jesus came to earth to end death, the curse of sin, and to give us eternal life.
Last night after we returned,I read before going to sleep 1 John 3: 1-3: “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are the children of God and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.”
John says it all.
