Heart Smart

RICHARD ZEKVELD

Think big. If our sun were the size of a basketball, the earth would be slightly larger than the head of a pin. Our sun is an average-sized star in a vast universe filled with stars. One estimate: there are 300 sextillion stars in the universe. That’s the number 3 followed by 23 zeros. Or 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 enormous balls of gas, clustered into billions of galaxies swirling in perfect sync, conducted by their Creator who calls each one by name.

Think small. The cell is the basic building block of every living thing. Your body is made up of trillions of cells. Each is a fine-tuned factory with intricate machinery working together to perform a function. Each contains your unique blueprint. These cells come together as diverse organs which, in turn, work together in finely-tuned systems that allow you to function moment by moment.

Think smaller. The atom is the basic building block of the universe. Hydrogen excepted, every atom has a nucleus of multiple protons that cling to one another. Like positively charged magnets, they should repel one another. Yet a powerful, awe-inspiring force holds them together. If it didn’t, everything would fly apart.

None of this is accidental. Jesus “is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17). In a world where so much falls apart, including us, he’s also the one who came to put it all back together. Including us. “God was pleased… through him to reconcile to himself all things… by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1:19a,20).

At the heart of his plan to put it together, to hold it together, to put it back together, is his plan to put us back together in relationship with him. Call on Jesus. Be reconciled to God.
