Psalms 14 and 53 both begin with the statement, "The fool says in his heart, There is no God." It seems that modern science has given us yet another reason to believe the Word of God. Check out these pictures just released by NASA:
Those are actual photographs captured by the Cassini-Titan spacecraft, launched October 15th, 1997.
Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork."
Can anyone look at the astonishing beauty of Saturn and it's rings and not be overwhelmed by the power and glory our Lord Jesus Christ displays? Remember Colossians 1:15-17, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
Please pause to ponder that statement: By Him--Jesus--all things were created, everything, and further, he holds them all together. Look at the Saturn images again. Jesus created that planet and he is sustaining it as you read this, even as he sustains the breath and the intricate parts of your body that allow you to see, read, comprehend, feel, and most of all, worship. In him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28), so let us praise him for his power, and even more so, that this all-powerful God of ours chose to leave his throne at the right hand of the Father to come to earth to bear the wrath of our sins. He did not do this because he had to, or because we asked him to, but because he is great and gracious and glorious and wonderful and more. Romans 5:8, "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus Christ died for us when we were still his enemies. I don't say this to guilt anyone into loving Jesus because true love is never wrought by guilt, but unconditional love. Two places tell us this (there are many more). I John 4:12, "We love because he first loved us" and Romans 2:4, "Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?"
I hope you look at the rings of Saturn and see the glory of God, and see even more how beautiful the good news of the gospel is, in that the Lord Jesus Christ who holds the rings of Saturn in perfect, beautiful orbit, was SLAUGHTERED at the hands of men so we can be reconciled to God (Romans 5:1-2) to live with him and enjoy his glory and goodness forever. All you have to do is look upon Jesus. He's the hero of the story, and he did for us what we could never do for ourselves. The Lord Jesus Christ is a great and powerful savior! Repent and believe, turn and worship.
