What if the Bible is right
On February 14, 1990, NASA at a distance of 6 billion kilometres (3,7 billion miles) had the Voyager 1 space probe take a picture of the Solar system. It showed earth as a pail blue dot smaller than the head of a pin.
Carl Sagan said of that dot,
“From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.” Carl Sagan.
Sagan is was right in the vastness of the space that little dot may not seem significant, but those of us who live on it, it means everything.
What amazes me even more is that the God that created the heavens and the earth chose to come to that pail blue dot in the form of His one and Only Son Christ Jesus.
The gospel of John states,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ” John 1:1-4,14
I know such a thing defies human logic but this is what Christians the world over believe.
We believe the words of Jesus who said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
If Christians are wrong then Christians have created perhaps the greatest lie in human history one that three billion people believe.
Further more if Christians are wrong they have nothing to fear from being wrong. For in believing in God. Believing in Christ Jesus and following His teachings they will have lived a good and moral life.
If on the other hand the Bible is right, If Christians are right then all who hear about Jesus need to think carefully about their relationship toward God and Jesus.
Please think about it.
