  • Chirping Chirping

  • Croaking Waves crashing

  • Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.” Psalm

  • 66.5 God of Wonders

  • Humming Cawing

  • For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being

  • understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they

  • are without excuse.” Romans 1:20 In the beginning God created the heavens and

  • the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

  • And since the dawn of creation, God´s attributes are seen

  • and know by all. As a building requires a builder,

  • creation demands a Creator. And as an outstanding design points to a gifted

  • designer, our amazing universe reveals the glory of

  • an awesome Creator. God´s wonders surround us.

  • And these marvels reveal much about our Creator. Through creation we glimpse His power and

  • wisdom, His majesty and care.

  • Creation is speaking to those who will listen. I´m Dr. John Whitcomb.

  • Join us as we explore the message of creation, conscience, and the glory of God!

  • God of Power Throughout creation God´s power is displayed.

  • From the new growth of plants in the spring, to new life forming in the womb;

  • Wherever we turn the Creator´s energizing power

  • Is unmistakable. He guides the stars in their courses above,

  • He formed the majestic mountains, He maintains the beneficial seasons,

  • And in His hand is the life of every living thing.

  • The fact that we have a universe tell us that we need a Creator.

  • Because, you see, the universe has a beginning and therefore requires a cause.

  • The energy in the universe has a beginning and therefore requires a cause.

  • And people sayWell, okay, fine. God made the universe, but then who made God

  • ?” But you see, God is eternal.

  • God doesn´t have a beginning and therefore doesn´t require a cause.

  • And that may be a little hard to grasp, but there´s nothing irrational about an eternal

  • being. There is something irrational about something

  • popping into existence from nothing, ‘cause that

  • violates causality. “Before the mountains were brought forth,

  • or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You

  • are God.” Psalm 90.2 You know, a famous evolutionist was once asked,

  • where did the Big Bang come from? And he said simply, “If somebody ever asked

  • youwhere mass energy came from,

  • just ask them where God came from.” And I think he really said something much

  • more meaningful than he thought.

  • Something had to be eternal. Either mass energy is eternal or God is eternal.

  • Well, science has taught us a lot about mass energy.

  • One of the things is it wears out. Mass energy eternal doesn´t make any sense

  • at all. God is eternal, does make sense.

  • As we read in that first chapter of Hebrews: The heavens

  • The whole universe is growing old and wearing out

  • like a garment to be cast off but Thou, O Lord, endureth forever.

  • The Bible explains there´s one God who is the Creator

  • and the source of all life and energy. The forces of nature are energized and guided

  • by His hand. Who hasn’t´felt the rumble of an approaching

  • storm and considered God´s might?

  • Thunder clapping Thunder clapping

  • His lightnings light the world; the earth sees and trembles.” Psalm 97.4

  • Thunder clapping Thunderstorms are an amazing display of the

  • Creator´s might. An average thunderstorm pours down

  • several hundred million gallons of water Equivalent to the amount of water that flows

  • over Niagara Falls every 6 minutes. The same storm releases 10 million kilowatt

  • hours of energyequivalent to a 20 kiliton nuclear

  • warhead. And large, severe thunderstorms can be 10,

  • of even 100 more energetic. At any given moment, hundreds of storms are

  • occurring somewhere aroung the world.

  • This amounts to about 16 million thunderstorms each year!

  • Thunder clapping The accompanying lightning illuminates an

  • entire skyline. A bolt may reach over 5 miles in length,

  • contain over 100 million electrical volts, and soar the temperatures approaching

  • 50.000 degrees Fahrenheit in a split second hotter than the surface of the sun.

  • On average, lightning strikes the earth 100 times

  • every second. Several million bolts reach earth each day.

  • The tremendous power, the incredible speed, and the glaring flash are clear manifestations

  • of our Creator´s majestic power. Thunderstorms are an incredible phenomenon

  • in the atmosphere. They´re awesome. They´re powerful.

  • They´re frightening. They have all kinds of energy releases.

  • That´s basically what´s happening is a thunderstorm is releasing large quantities of energy in

  • our atmosphere By vertical motions.

  • Thunderstorms contribute a major amount to the water cycle.

  • The hydrologic cyclewater is evaporated from the oceans.

  • the vapor is drifted over the continents and then it falls

  • as rain and then flows back into the sea. Thunderstorms are a major part of that cycle,

  • where it converts that water vapor back into liquid water or rain and falls to the

  • earth. Lightning and thunderstorms in Scripture are

  • often used as a symbol of God´s wrath against rebellious

  • people. But everybody has been struck by the awesome

  • beauty of lightning and storm and the smell of the fresh air.

  • The lightning itself puts together two gases in the air

  • nitrogen and hydrogento make fertilizer. When the lightning stroke goes through the

  • air, it releases the nitrogen in the vapor form

  • and absorbs it into the water and it falls down and fertilizes

  • the ground. By thunderstorms.

  • Four thousand years ago job pondered the Almighty´s display

  • with these words: “He binds up the water in His thick clouds,

  • yet the clouds are not broken under it. He stirs up the sea with His power,

  • and by His understanding He breaks up the storm.

  • Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, and how small a whisper we hear of Him!

  • But the thunder of His power who can understand?” so thunderstorms and natural events

  • that are highly energetic. I think they are a lesson about if God can

  • do this, what must He be like ?

  • While we may not fully grasp this cumulative power,

  • these grand display should cause all to stand in awe of our great God.

  • Lift up yours eyes on high, and see who has created these things,…by the greatness

  • of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing.” Isaiah 40.26

  • Our sun is immense and its energy output enormous. The core of the sun is a scorching

  • 27 million degrees Fahrenheit! Though the sun is 93 million miles from earth,

  • sunlight is our main source of energy. Energy leaves the sun at the ferocious rate

  • of 5 million tons of matter per second.

  • This goes on day and night, year after year. There are many examples of God´s power in

  • nature. The whole universe came about by His word.

  • Psalm 33.9 says that God spoke it was finished. He commanded and it stood fast.

  • As one good example, consider our nearest star, the sun

  • the sun gives off more energy in one second than mankind

  • has produced since Adam and Eve. The sun actually provides its energy by nuclear

  • fusion, converting hydrogen into helium on a grand

  • scale. And this is true of all the stars.

  • In our own Milky Way Galaxy, we estimate 100 billions stars.

  • And beyond that, in deep space, we see 100 billion more galaxies.

  • One cannot begin to grasp the kind of energy and power

  • that we´re talking about, all created by God´s Word.

  • The sun heats the earth and it drives all of the weather systems on the earth

  • tornados, hurricanes, thunderstorms, just plain rain clouds, winds, all of that

  • is driven by the energy coming from the sun.

  • And the energy that we have on earth is only one billionth

  • of the amount of energy that´s coming from the sun!

  • To gain perspective, with the gain, of computer animation,

  • Lets now travel with the earth to then sum. At one hundred times the speed of light.

  • From this view we begin to appreciate the manigtude

  • of our home star. Over one million earths would fit inside the

  • sun. yet our sun is an average size star

  • many stars in our own galaxy dwarf it. Arcturus is the forth-brightest star in the

  • night sky. Though 200 trillion miles away, this orange

  • giant is visible to the naked eye.

  • by moving our sun next to Arcturus we can grasp

  • its immensity. Arcturus is 100 times brighter with a radius

  • 20 times greater than the sun´s.

  • yet even Arcturus appears small when compared with the super-giant Betelgeuse.

  • Betelgeuse has a radius 600 times that of our sun.

  • A reddish star, it shines a remarkable 60.000 times

  • brighter than the sun. However even Betelgeuse is not the largest

  • star in our galaxy. Several red super giants in the Milky Way

  • are even larger some with a radius 1500 times that of our

  • sun. One of the things in creation that I think

  • really exhibits God´s power, is the power released in stars.

  • The sun releases more energy in one second than a billion

  • major cities on the earthif there were a billion

  • would produce in a year And that´s just released in one second

  • you can imagine that! And of course there are stars that are even

  • more powerful than the sun.

  • And just imagine all that power. All those stars, billions of stars that are

  • in our galaxy, Billion of stars in other galaxies,

  • and yet the Bible describes the creation of all that energy, all that power,

  • With a single phrase: “He made the stars also.”

  • When we consider that these ratios present only a sliver

  • of our Creator´s power, certainly we can agree

  • with the psalmist when he exhorts: “Let all the earth fear the Lord.”

  • Of course the stars reveal more than raw power. Without the light of the sun, all life on

  • earth would soon perish.

  • The sun´s life-giving energy provides a constant reminder

  • of our Creator´s steadfast lovethe God who shines His gift of light on all.

  • He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty

  • in power; His understanding is infinite.” Psalm 147:5-5

  • The visible universe contains more than 100 billion galaxies.

  • Each of these galaxies has a diameter millions of trillions

  • of miles wide; and each contains hundreds of billions of stars

  • though incomprehensible, it is now estimated that the universe holds over a billion trillion

  • stars. Long before the introduction of the telescope,

  • scripture declared that man would be unable to determine

  • the exact number because there are so many. Of course the Creator knows the exact number,

  • and Psalm 147 declares that He even calls each star by name!

  • The power to create each of these stars, the wisdom to maintain their stellar courses,

  • and the incredible beauty displayed throughout the universe, combine to affirm

  • the Creator´s majesty and care. God has made the universe so vast.

  • All man can do is just marvel at this universe, the vastness of it.

  • And I say, God, You are soYou are so great!

  • And I think of what David said, “When I consider Your heavens,

  • the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars

  • that You have made, what is manthat Thou art mindful of him, or the son

  • of man that You should visit Him ?”

  • It´s estimated that there are over 100 billion stars

  • in our galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy. It is estimated that there are over 100 billion

  • galaxies in the universe.

  • Of course the Bible tells us that as the heavens are higher

  • than the earth, so are God´s ways above our ways and His

  • thoughts above our thoughts, so chew on that for a little bit - -

  • Think about how big the universe is compared to the earth,

  • Which is just the head of a pin by comparasion. Just how big is God´s universe ?

  • Travelling at the speed of light - - 186.000 miles per second - -

  • We could circle the earth seven times in one second.

  • However, to travel across the know universe at the speed of light would take 28 billion

  • years or more! Today most astronomers acknowledge that the

  • universe appears to be expanding.

  • This also agrees with the Bible which says God

  • stretches out the heavens like a curtain.” There are some examples in the Bible

  • of scientific foresight. One example that comes to mind in particular,

  • is in Isaiah 40:22 which talks about God stretching out

  • the heavens as a tent or as a curtain. And you might say, “Well, that is written

  • in a poetic way, so we´ve got to be careful.”

  • And yet, there are at least ten other places in the Bible where it talks about this stretching

  • out of the heavens.

  • And that is something that was only discovered in

  • the twentieth century when we found that, indeed,

  • all the galaxies appear to be, or virtually all of them appear to be moving

  • away from each other, as if the entire universe is being,

  • lo and behold, stretched out and expanded, just like the Bible says.

  • That´s obviously not something that people could have observed

  • in ancient times. That´s something that had to have been revealed

  • to them from above.

  • Unimaginably large, containing spectacular galaxies

  • and stunning nebulae, truly: “The heavens declare

  • the glory of God.” It´s not just the visible forces of nature

  • or our immense universe that reveals God´s might.

  • It turns out that there is tremendous energy present

  • in all matter - - even the tiny atom. Let´s explore one more example of the Creator´s

  • infinite power. “Consider the wondrous works of GodJob

  • 37:14 In the last century scientists have uncovered

  • the vast energy present in all matter.

  • The now well-know relation E=mc Squared states that

  • the potential energy of any matter is equal to its mass

  • times the speed of light squared. One of the great discoveries of the twentieth

  • century was the discovery E = mc Squared, that little

  • equation that most people have heard of

  • but maybe they don´t know what it means. What it really means is that energy has mass.

  • That doesn´t mean that energy can be exchanged for mass,

  • but rather, energy actually possesses mass. Energy weighs something, if you could put

  • it on a scale. Even light.

  • Even the light that is coming from this room, if I could put it on a scale, it would weigh

  • just a little bit. In the past century, scientists have explored

  • the concept of nuclear energy. It involves the formula E = mc Squared

  • made famous by Albert Einstein. In this formula, the “m” stands for mass

  • or matter, and “c” is the speed of light.

  • What the expression says is that it is possible to take matter

  • or mass and convert it entirely into energy. You take a mass and you annihilate it and

  • off comes light and sound and power and energy

  • and that also means that if we could take just a little bit

  • of mass and harness the energy from it, we could do some really incredible things.

  • You see that equation, the “c” in that equation,

  • E = mc Squared, “c” is the speed of light, which of course

  • is quite large. And c squared, the speed of light times itself,

  • that´s very, very large. So that tells us that even the tiniest amount

  • of mass has an enormous amount of energy associated

  • with it. To appreciate the tremendous energy within

  • any mass, consider that nuclear reactors convert only

  • a tiny fraction of the total mass of their fuel to energy.

  • If, however we were able to convert all the mass to energy,

  • the resultant output would be enormous. For example, if the mass of an average size

  • tree could be converted into energy, the power yield would

  • be 45 trillion kilowatt-hours.

  • By way of comparasion, the US generates about 4 trillion kilowatt-hours of electrical energy

  • per year. So if just a single tree´s mass was converted

  • into energy, and that energy harnessed, it would provide

  • the entire United States with over 10 years of electrical

  • energy! Or to illustrate further, the potential energy

  • within a single grain of salt could power an entire household

  • for several months. Though scientists have much to learn about

  • energy, mass, and what holds matter together, they have

  • discovered that the energy residing in all matter

  • is incomprehensibly vast. Scripture explains that it is the Lord Himself

  • who isupholding all things by the word of His power.”

  • This includes every atom, every cell, every star,

  • and the entire universe! It is now undeniable that the Almighty has

  • created a universe with unlimited energy

  • There had to be someonenot something, because things wear out, the Second Law of

  • Thermodynamics. There had to be someone without beginning

  • or end, who had the power and the knowledge, the wisdom,

  • the incredible infinite intelligence to put all this together: from the atom,

  • the organization of the atom, to the cosmos and so forth.

  • When we look at the many examples of God´s power,

  • it should invoke a sense of reverence and awe in our hearts.

  • The Bible tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning

  • of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil.

  • The fear of the Lord leads to life. Therefore, the proper response to God´s authority

  • is to worship Him and seek His mercy and forgiveness for

  • our sins. The prophet Jeremiah declared: “Ah, Lord

  • God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the

  • earth by Your great power and outstretched arm.

  • There is nothing too hard for You.” Surely creation reveals God´s omnipotence,

  • but there is much more. Though the universe is married by the curse,

  • the Creator´s wisdom, beauty and love are still evident.

  • Wherever we turn, the Lord wisdom is conspicuous. Study the properties of water.

  • This elegant molecule is indispensable to life, so our

  • generous God covered four fifths of the earth´s surface with it

  • in streams, lakes, and seas. Water is perfectly designed to support the

  • life of every cell and creature.

  • It´s an excellent solvent, coolant, and transporter. Or examine the insect world.

  • Each of these amazing creatures is endowed with ingenious

  • abilities that far surpass anything manmade. From elegant to complex the Creator´s works

  • declare His wisdom.

  • Thousands of years ago, God asked Job, “Have you entered the treasury of snow?”

  • Now no man living at that time could have known fully about the treasures of the snow.

  • But with the advent of the microscope, these elaborate crystals can now be wholly

  • appreciated. These are actual snow crystals that have reached

  • earth intact. Snow crystals form in the clouds where water

  • vapor condenses. And crystallizes into ice.

  • As the crystals grow these remarkable patterns emerge.

  • Complex, symmetrical, and beautiful, they are breath taking to behold.

  • In contrast, manmade snow has none of the elaborate structure

  • found in snow crystals. Snow crystals are made out of amazing water

  • molecules. Each oxygen atom has a little bit of negative

  • charge, and it holds onto two hydrogen atoms that

  • have a little positive charge, and it holds them

  • 104 and a half degress apart. When you reach the freezing point,

  • suddenly they reach a point where the electrical attraction

  • of plus and minus charges, can pull them together. That’s the energy source.

  • And then that shape God gave the water molecules, they line up to form those beautiful crystals,

  • each one unique, each one a reflection of God´s creativity.

  • Every day trillions of God´s transparent treasures fall

  • to earth for our discovery and joy - - and yet no two are exactly alike.

  • I believe that God built this hexagonal shape into

  • the individual water molecule, because of the way they have

  • to fit together, they form this hexagonal shape as they add

  • on molecules and grow outward. Each individual ice crystal is made up of

  • literally millions of water molecules.

  • And although they fit together in a particular way

  • as they grow outward, the ice crystals falling down through the

  • cloud at different temperatures, they begin to get

  • different shapes. So every ice crystal is going to be slightly

  • different than every other one.

  • Each crystal is built on a hexagonal pattern and exhibits a marvelous symmetry of design.

  • Trully there is a treasury of snow, just as God declared 4.000 years ago.

  • There´s two things about ice crystals that just really excite me.

  • One is literally the beauty. You look at them and you see all these patterns

  • with these flat faces and the structure that´s there.

  • There´s over a hundred different basic types of ice crystals.

  • And just the beauty of it! And that tells me something about God.

  • It tells me that God loves beauty, and He loves me because

  • He provided this beauty to look at. So it resonates with me.

  • The other is the way in which the ice crystals are ordered,

  • the way in which the individual molecules fit togheter.

  • That fits a particular consistent pattern time and time again, tells me that God has

  • designed it. There is also a spiritual application:

  • as each snow crystal is distinctly patterned, so each human, each soul, is unique

  • and of special concern to our Lord. As God´s creative hand forms ice crystals

  • with loving care, so, too, He intends to form each person

  • to reflect His glory. Compared to the rest of creation,

  • snow crystals are simple, yet the Great Architect´s attention - -

  • even to the countless snow crystals He forms each day - -

  • Is a unmistakable mark of His care. God has built into, not only ice crystals,

  • all kinds of other molecules, all kinds of systems,

  • relationship and process that we don’t even begin

  • to fathom yet today. That´s one of the reasons I´m a scientist.

  • I love trying to find out how things function, how they operate, and apply mathematical equations

  • to them, because I feel like I am touching the face

  • of God, if you wish.

  • If simple water molecules that form ice crystals exhibit

  • magnificent structure, consider the design ingenuity

  • behind large, complex molecules such as DNA. DNA contains the blueprint for all life and

  • is by far the densest information storage mechanism

  • know in the universe.

  • For example, the amount of information contained in a pinhead volume of DNA would fill a stack

  • of books 500 times higher than from here to the moon!

  • The program code and design of such an incredible system

  • indicates a supremely intelligent Designer. The evidence, to me, that just cries out that

  • there´s a God, is the study of DNA.

  • DNA is a very powerful, massive information storage system.

  • In fact, DNA, that makes up our genes, actually is like books

  • of information that´s read by a language system.

  • It´s absolutely phenomenal. And scientists know today that language as

  • a code, only come from an intelligence, and information

  • only comes from information.

  • Nobody´s ever seen matter by itself give rise to a code.

  • Nobody´s ever seen matter by ifself give rise to information.

  • And as you look at DNA, it actually cries out,

  • in the beginning God created the universe.” We all begin as a single cell the size of

  • a period at the end of a sentence.

  • How does that cell know how build a body with 100 trillion cells in it, thousands of

  • different kinds, and each one of them is so complex,

  • nano chemical machinery beyond our comprehension how it works ?

  • And encoded is the instruction manual, is the Manufacturer´s manual how to build

  • and operate every part of this incredible body made up

  • of 100 trillion cells. Furthermore, DNA is a three dimensional molecule

  • that is self-replicating. Each molecule is able to make an identical

  • copy quickly and efficiently.

  • The Lord has even programmed DNA to detect and correct

  • replication errors. These sophisticated capabilities far exceed

  • man´s means. God has created the DNA molecule in such a

  • way that it is self-correcting.

  • There are special proteins, called enzymes, that go up and down the DNA molecule looking

  • for and making repairs on a minute-by-minute,

  • second-by-second basis. God created us with a DNA code that actually

  • has what we call editace or editorial type enzymes.

  • Just as an editor reads a newspaper or a book looking

  • for mistakes, so God has created special enzymes that go up

  • and down our DNA molecule repairing the mistakes in ways that are unbelievably complex.

  • There are many examples in creation of things that demonstrate the biblical God.

  • One would be in our very DNA. Our DNA has information in it.

  • And there´s a whole field of scientific study called

  • information science, which studies how information originates, how it´s transmitted, and so

  • on. And one of the laws of information science

  • says that information never originates by itself

  • in matter, never spontaneously comes about.

  • Any time we trace the copying of information back to its source,

  • it always comes back to a mind. And since we have creative information in

  • DNA, that tells me that DNA comes from intelligence.

  • It´s not something that could possibly come about

  • through millions of years of mutations and natural selection.

  • That just won´t work. Yet even the DNA molecule is simple compared

  • to cells. All life consists of cells and each cell functions

  • as a miniature city. When we consider that a human body

  • consists of trillions of cells working together as one unit,

  • we should be in humble awe of our Creator´s intimate care

  • and perfect wisdom! Every seed is a miniature miracle.

  • God has programmed the tiny sequoia seed to become

  • the largest tree on earth - - reaching nearly 300 feet tall

  • and weighing many tons. God has designed the humble apple seed to

  • yield a bounty of delicious fruit for years to come.

  • And God has planned a multitude of seeds to produce spectacular

  • blossoms in abundance! Consider the many varieties of seeds.

  • As stated in Genesis, each seed always produces after its own kind.

  • And just as the Lord intended, the fruits and byproducts

  • that they bear have supplied the needed food and resources

  • for man and his environment. In the first chapter of Genesis, God said,

  • Let the earth bring forth grass, “the herb that yields seed, and the fruit

  • that yields fruitaccording to its kind, whose seed is in

  • itselfon the earth.

  • and it was so.” So the Creator made life with the ability

  • to reproduce after its kind. Plants produce seed.

  • This answers the question, which came first, the seed or the plant ?

  • Clearly, God created plant life with the seed in itself.

  • Seeds are masterpieces of micro miniaturization. Inside each seed is a little baby,

  • a little embryonic plant! It´s already got leaves, a stem, and a root,

  • surrounded by a seed coat that protects it, and filled with all kinds of receptors

  • listening in to environmental signals, so it knows what temperature, what moisture

  • conditions, how much oxygen.

  • All these things have to be present before it will sprout.

  • And the first seeds we find as fossils look just like the seeds

  • that we have today. The seed is the first reproductive structure

  • God made on creation day 3.

  • And it’s the way living things, ever since, have multiplied after kind.

  • Today scientists have discovered what Scripture stated all along:

  • inside the unassuming seed is life itself. Contained within are living cells - -

  • tiny factories of amazing complexity. No scientists has been able to build a synthetic

  • seed, and no seed is simple.

  • Seeds are programmed to remain dormant until water

  • and warmth are available. Who installed this ability to monitor temperature

  • and humidity ? Who determined the proper time for the seed

  • to germinate ? Who told the rootYou must go down!”

  • And the stemYou must head upward!”? Do you see the guiding hand of our all-loving

  • Creator ? In order to sprout and thrive, seeds require

  • the proper soil nutrients, the ideal properties found

  • in water, the correct frequency spectrum of light, the

  • right atmosphere, and the necessary pollinators.

  • All of these must have been in place from the beginning

  • in order for seeds to yield a harvest of blessings for mankind!

  • What a drab world it would be without flowering plants.

  • From unassuming seed to magnificent blossom, flowers reflect a sliver of God´s splendor.

  • There are a great variety of flowering plants flourishing

  • all over the globe - - and each with its own unique flower,

  • fruit and flagrance. As a blossom expands, its flagrance fills

  • the air. Consider that each flower always produces

  • its own particular perfume. Even more amazing, God uses the same elements

  • soil, light, and water

  • to produce all these brilliant varieties. Remarkably, certain flowers are designed to

  • know what time it is.

  • California poppies, morning glories, and daylilies are three beautiful examples.

  • Opening and closing with clock-like precision, they are sensitive to atmospheric pressure,

  • length of daylight, temperature, and humidity and must therefore have built-in biorhythms.

  • Each leaf of a plant is also a marvel. Long before man discovered how to harness

  • solar power, the Creator installed miniature solar panels

  • in every green leaf. As the leaf expands, it is programmed to face

  • the sun to receive its energy. This energy powers its chemical factories.

  • As a result, carbon dioxide is absorved; oxygen is released;

  • and hydrogen is used in making sugars. How ingenious of our God to design leaves

  • to absorb man´s waste gas, and release the oxygen

  • which every creature needs for survival. Photosynthesis is also the basis for all our

  • food supply. Thankfully, countless numbers of God´s little

  • green machines perform this service every day.

  • Flowering plants are such a testimony to God´s provision.

  • Not only are they critical in terms of providing food

  • and medicine and various other aspects of life as we know it,

  • but we would simply not be able to exist without the flowering plants.

  • Well, that ties in with the large group of animals

  • called the arthropods. One of the groups of arthropods would be the

  • insects. Insects need the plants and plants, most assuredly,

  • need the insects in terms of pollination, in terms of keeping the plants fertilized

  • on a year-to-year basis. Genesis 2:9 tells us that God created the

  • green plants, pleasant to the sight and good for food.

  • Plants use the amazing process of photosynthesis to trap energy

  • from the sun to put together carbon dioxide molecules from the air,

  • water molecules from the soil, to make sugar molecules

  • the basic building block for all of the other food groups.

  • Where do plants get the carbon dioxide? We breathe it out.

  • Animals breathe out the carbon dioxide; plants absorb that carbon dioxide.

  • they absorb the water. They release oxygen from the water molecules

  • so we can breathe it in, burn the sugar

  • to produce the carbon dioxide that they can absorb

  • to make more sugar. You may get the idea all these parts have

  • to fit together at the same time.

  • That´s one thing, as we look at the creation account,

  • how God made plants, animals, people - - all the physical features of the universe

  • to fit together in an intricate pattern,

  • Reflecting His glory. Food, oxygen, medicine, fuel, raw materials

  • surely the Lord designed plants for our benefit.

  • The rich diversity of flowering plants and the many purposes

  • they serve, all point to a wise and compassionate Creator.

  • Though magnificent in bloom, the glory of the flower quickly fades.

  • Scripture likens man´s life on earth to a flower

  • so quick to pass away. Therefore, how important it is for each of

  • us to seek everlasting life today.

  • Then God said, ‘Let the waters abound with an abundance

  • of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth.’

  • So God created every living thing that moves,

  • and God saw that is was good.” In the Book of Genesis we read that God created

  • everything to be very good. And though sin has since injured creation,

  • the fish, the birds, and all creatures still testify to God´s

  • goodness and wisdom. We´ll now turn our attention to the Lord´s

  • incredible creatures. Living in the waters of the world are creatures

  • more magnificent than mankind could ever imagine. The enormous assortment of ocean dwellers

  • speaks of the unlimited ingenuity of our great Creator.

  • And each sea creature has been designed with remarkable functionality.

  • God equipped the octopus with a form of jet propulsion,

  • suction-cup technology, and self-adjusting camouflage

  • far superior to any manmade design. Watch as this giant octopus morphs into a

  • rock with algaeits color, shape,

  • and texture are all transformed in an instant! The squid on the left is a male.

  • He shows a brownish-red courtship pattern toward the female, while simultaneously showing

  • a white fighting pattern on this opposite side

  • to ward off rival males. As he switches sides his markings actually

  • flip! Dual simultaneous signaling demonstrates God´s

  • engineering supremacy. Underwater symbiotic relationship reveal perfect

  • foresight in design planning. Sea anemones are poisonous, yet God has enabled

  • certain fish to safely cohabitate in their environment.

  • For example, clown fish are designed with an immunity

  • to the anemone´s poison. This could not have been inherited,

  • as prior generations would have been killed and gone extinct before evolving a beneficial

  • immunity. The schooling pattern of certain fish is still

  • being researched. The ability for fish to dart with synchronized

  • movements reveals the guiding hand of a Grand Conductor.

  • Different species of fish have been relegated to dwell

  • at specific levels of the ocean depths. This capability is the result of a specially

  • designed air bladder which secretes gases from the blood stream,

  • regulating the pressure - - maintaining equilibrium - -

  • allowing the fish to survive at various water pressures

  • within a range determined by the Creator. One of my absolutely favorite sea creature

  • is the pearly nautilus or the chambered nautilus.

  • Here´s a shell like you might find in a Florida shell shop.

  • And when you cut these down the middle, ooh, look at that.

  • All of these chambers inside. The animal that lives in the last chamber

  • here is essentially a squid.

  • It has lots of little tentacles coming out the front like that.

  • All these little chambers enable it to regulate its buoyancy

  • like a submarine does. Inside that amazing squid, there´s a brain.

  • There´s an eye that sees the world like we do.

  • There´s a digestive system, a salivary gland and a pancreas gland.

  • They have three different hearts. They are a complex inside as we are.

  • And yet, fossils of this kind of creature are among the first

  • to be found. Initial complexity - - a marvelous testimony

  • to God´s creativity. When I look at the sea creatures that God

  • has created, I look in particular to the fish.

  • They are amazing creatures, starting with their

  • streamlined efficiency. The fact that they are designed to extract

  • oxygen from the water in such an efficient manner.

  • The fact that they have such pleasing aesthetic values,

  • and also of course, the great quantities of food

  • they provide for man. Fish have always been fish, according to the

  • fossil record. Yes, fish certainly are an incredible feature

  • of God´s living creation. The obvious sophistication, variety, and beauty

  • of sea creatures shout out, “A Master artist created all things for His good pleasure.”

  • Birds are among the most captivating creatures on earth.

  • We marvel at their spectacular colors, their streamlined shapes, and their ability

  • to fly with grace and ease.

  • For centuries man attempted to imitate the flight of a bird.

  • It was only in the twentieth century that he succeeded in controlled flight.

  • To this day, in order to improve the aerodynamics of the plane,

  • man will return to study God´s marvelous avian design.

  • Consider some of the Creator´s design features. A bird´s bones are lightweight and virtually

  • hollow. They are supported inside by struts and honeycombed

  • with air sacs. These lightweight bones are designed so efficiently

  • for flight that the bird´s feathers usually weigh more

  • than its entire skeleton! Even its beak is designed to save weight-

  • - made of lightweight horn rather than heavy

  • bone. Birds also have two strong sets of breast

  • muscles - - a large set to control the wing´s down strokes,

  • and a smaller set to control the upstrokes. And only birds have been created with feathers.

  • Feathers insulate the bird from the sun´s heat,

  • protect it from the cold, waterproof the body, and create wing and tail surfaces necessary

  • for flight. Each feather is connected to a nerve and controlled

  • by a muscle. This precision muscular control helps the

  • bird balance. In the air, steer, and brake when slowing

  • down to land. Birds, theyre just truly spectacularly

  • amazing. They´re well-known, of course, for the feather,

  • which is a masterpiece of strength and lightness Combined in one thing.

  • They have a little system of barbs, barbules, Kknd of like the hooks and eyelets of Velcro,

  • that it can zipper together the little feathers that stick out from the main shaft.

  • And they can take their bill and zipper them and unzipper them as they oil their feathers.

  • And each feather, along the length of the wing,

  • has a slightly different size and shape that´s coordinated

  • with all of the others. There´s no way at all feathers could just

  • arise by time and chance.

  • They are marvels, masterpieces, miraculous examples of creation.

  • another essential element to bird flight is the air-filled bags that lie between

  • the bird´s organs. The bird´s air-sacs are connected to its

  • lungs, and during flight air flows through them.

  • This arrangement rapidly feeds the bird´s body tissues

  • with life-supporting oxygen while keeping it light

  • in the air. All birds are amazing.

  • You know, they have a system of breathing that´s not found

  • in any other creature. The bird lung is a special double-tied system

  • where you can oxygenate the air both inhaling and exhaling.

  • Unlike our lungs or the lungs of any other creature,

  • the bird lung has back doors. And it turns out that this is important.

  • Birds do not change the shape of their chest cavity

  • when they breathe. You know, if you saw a bird just land

  • from a thousand-mile migration, just landed, would you see the chest heave as he breathed

  • ? They are stone still no matter how hard they´re

  • been flying. You think, how do they breathe ?

  • It turns out that the air is moved through the bird much like

  • a bellows for a fire. These air bags between the muscles,

  • and as the bird flies, as it walks, it´s moving the air.

  • Such wonderful creatures God made in birds. All of these engineering marvels combine for

  • efficient flight and show perfect foresight in the creation

  • of birds. One of the marvels of birds is their ability

  • to migrate long distances. The arctic tern makes it all the way from

  • areas near the North Pole all the way down to the

  • South Pole and back every year.

  • Now people can to that in an airplane. Well you perhaps looked into the cockpit of

  • an airplaneall those switches and dials and levers and

  • controls. And then you have to have ground control to

  • tell the pilot where he´s going, and all of that is packed into

  • one teeny part of a bird´s brain.

  • Next time somebody calls you a birdman, sayWhy, thank you!”

  • The Lord has equipped each bird uniquely for his role in life.

  • In the service of man each species of birds has

  • a special area of patrol. Many help by controlling insects,

  • others remove the carcasses. The finch family is a great weed seed destroyer.

  • The owl and the hawk keep the rodents in check. The sandpiper combs the beaches.

  • The water bird maintains the proper balance iIn fish population;

  • The heron in frog and snake control. With graceful proportions, amazing aerodynamic

  • abilities, and practical functions, each bird is a testimony

  • to God´s wisdom and love. While God provides marvelously for birds,

  • remember that Jesus assures us that weare of more value than many sparrows.”

  • The hummingbird is a marvel of agility and grace.

  • The smallest birdsthey take their name from the humming

  • sound made by their rapid wing-beats. Darting from flower to flower, the hummer

  • poises in mid-airhe has come to sip sweet nectar.

  • The hummingbird has been wonderfully designed to do this.

  • God gave it a small body to move with ease about the flowers;

  • A long needle-like bill to probe deeply into the flower cup;

  • And a specialized tongue ideal for extracting nectar.

  • God also gave it remarkably strong wings and a sturdy breastbone,

  • which enable the bird to stop in mid-air, and even fly backwards and sideways with ease.

  • Of course all the hummingbird´s features - -

  • long bill, special tongue, unique rapid wing beat - - would have to work

  • together from the beginning in order for it to be able

  • to gather its energy food and thereby survive. Though the wings of most birds bend at the

  • shoulder, elbow, and wrist, the hummingbird chiefly uses the

  • shoulder. Like a helicopter, it can rise directly upward.

  • The Creator´s design, however, makes it possible to swivel

  • in all directions; is much more efficient; And far more agile than any manmade flying

  • machine. the hummer´s capabilities are phenomenal.

  • When hovering, his wings beat 50 times a second; when speeding straight away, up to 80 times.

  • Its heart beats 21 times in the same second. These tiny little birds have a metabolic rate

  • that is almost unimaginable. Their heartbeat is so fast it gets into the

  • range of audible sound.

  • You think of these little hummers that fly

  • they migrate over hundreds of miles. The reserve food to make this trip,

  • an error of hundredths of a gram in nutrients could mean not making the trip.

  • Birds alone would be absolute compelling evidence for a marvelous Creator.

  • The hummingbird´s nest is a masterpiece of art.

  • The female is the artist. She uses fern fuzz, dandelion seed down,

  • and other plant felts. The exterior is adorned with lichens and fastened

  • with spider webbing. The interior is lined with the softest down

  • available. No one teaches her the art of nest building;

  • it is a God-given ability. The male hummingbird´s coloring has no rival

  • in the bird kingdom. The Magnificent hummingbird, the Broad-tailed,

  • the Blue-throated, and Costa´s hummingbird are among the more than 300 stunning species.

  • The iridescent colors of the throat and crown are due

  • to refraction and not pigments. Often these areas appear dark, almost black,

  • but from the proper angle the iridescent colors seem to glow from within.

  • Every aspect of these remarkable birds testifies to the Creator´s gracious provision.

  • Would we say that the hummingbird has been especially favored by the all-loving Creator

  • ? No, this genuine love is extended upon every

  • creature. If we carefully study any creature,

  • the Lord´s glory will always beam forth. An estimated 18,000 butterfly species adorn

  • our planet. The beautiful coloration of butterfly wings

  • is created by millions of minute scales.

  • These precision scales function as biophotonic crystals

  • reflecting specific wavelengths of light to produce

  • these brilliant colors. The extraordinary patterns as pleasing colors

  • reveal a wise and caring Designer.

  • One of the amazing things I find about the butterfly is

  • its beautiful iridescence. Take for example the Morpho butterfly.

  • Morpho butterflies have a beautiful blue type iridescence,

  • but then when biologists many decades ago began to look

  • at the scales of the butterfly, they didn´t find any pigmentation cells.

  • They found instead biophotonic structures. They found structures that are designed by

  • the Creator to absorb certain wavelengths of white light

  • and reflect back to the viewer only that wavelength of light

  • within the spectrum of a bluish-purple color.

  • We have found that using electron microscope, there are structures there that can have no

  • more variation than .00004 millimeters

  • a wonderful testament to God´s design. All butterflies undergo an amazing transformation

  • during their life cycle. The insect begins as an egg, then a crawling

  • caterpillar, followed by the pupa stage.

  • During this stage the caterpillar begins to convulse in rhythmic jerks, breaking off

  • its outer skin. Its legs and head capsule are quickly shed,

  • giving rise to a chrysalis. Then, within the first day, the caterpillar´s

  • organs disintegrate into a soupy liquid.

  • Miraculously, after 1 to 2 weeks, a complex, winged butterfly emerges!

  • This metamorphosis takes place in a matter of days,

  • not millions of years. The adult butterfly now has six segmented

  • legs, antennae, a specialized feeding tube, two amazing compound

  • eyes, complex reproductive organs and four ornate

  • wings! The caterpillar had none of these features.

  • Clearly, the genetic instructions for all these

  • stages were programmed into the insect by the Creator

  • from the beginning. When a butterfly changes form a caterpillar

  • to a chrysalis to a butterfly, there are two completely different

  • designs here. One design is for the caterpillar,

  • that´s the initial stage. And all that does is creep around on the backside

  • of a leaf and it munches and eats all day,

  • increases its size about 250 times. That´s all it does.

  • But then it goes in the chrysalis, and turns into liquid,

  • and then it comes out with a totally different design.

  • What was the butterly designed to do ? Well that was designed to fly, of course,

  • where the caterpillar wasn´t. It was designed to drink the nectar from the

  • flowers, but at the same time fertilize the flowers.

  • It was designed to mate. And it was designed to be able to migrate

  • from one country to the other, several thousand miles in some cases.

  • So it´s designed for specific things. The caterpillar has one thing to do: to grow

  • eat and grow.

  • And the butterfly has several things to do: eat, grow, fertilize and mate.

  • Thousands of years ago Scripture declared what was common knowledge to everyone.

  • For example, in the Book of Job chapter 12 we read:

  • But now ask the beasts and they will teach you,

  • and the birds of the air and they will tell you.

  • Or speak to the earth and it will teach you,

  • and the fish of the sea will explain to you.

  • Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord

  • Has done this?” If we examine the evidence that we see,

  • the various things that have been created, it is very clear from the Scriptures

  • that the evidence points to the reality that there´s

  • a Creator who has made all things. Our great Creator has provided us with countless

  • examples of His infinite wisdom.

  • The functionality and ingenuity of God´s creatures surpass our

  • understanding and are cause for unending thanksgiving and worship.

  • While all of creation reflects aspects of God´s character,

  • man alone was created in God´s image. Man has physical distinctions: his brain

  • is a masterpiece of complexity; his hands are able to accomplish precise work;

  • his posture is upright, yet it is man´s spiritual nature

  • that is especially unique. Scripture explains that God is Spirit,

  • and even though mankind has fallen into sin, man´s spiritual nature still retains a glimmer

  • of the Creator´s character. For example man has a free will.

  • Man knows the difference between good and evil.

  • And only mankind has produced great scientists, composers, prophets and poets.

  • Mankind has been engineered with brilliant physical traits.

  • For example, the human eye moves about 100,000 times each day

  • with automatic focusing, and can handles 1.5 million simultaneous messages.

  • The eye is also self-cleaning, with built-in wipers

  • and cleaning fluid, and the eye even has the amazing ability

  • to assemble and heal itself. Furthermore, God has designed the human eye

  • to distinguish millions of colorsand his mind to appreciate the rich spectrum

  • of beauty seen throughout creation. Most people don´t realize this but the eye

  • Is part of the brain. It´s an extension of bud in the embryo

  • that buds off the brain and there´s a little window

  • that develops in the skin called the cornea of the eye.

  • Isn´t that great? The eyeball is located precisely where a clear

  • window develops in the skin, so we may look through.

  • It´s sensitive to light over a range of about 10 billion to one!

  • That is from the brightest thing we can see, maybe a sun-drenched snowscape,

  • down to as little as a single photon of light: That´s our smallest unit of light.

  • And of course everywhere you look, the focus is automatic.

  • And the two eyes look at the same spot, wherever we look.

  • It´s like somebody with a pair of six guns that can fire the guns and everywhere they

  • shoot, the two bullets make one hole.

  • Instantly. Everywhere. And that´s what are eyes are doing.

  • Everywhere we look they converge in the same point.

  • If they were off by just a degree or so, you´d see double.

  • Everywhere I look I see overwhelming evidence of the handiwork of God, and surely,

  • when man denies that, he is without excuse, just as Romans chapter 1 verse 20 tells us.

  • Even more mind-boggling, the Lord has designed all man´s senses to be intimately integrated.

  • When we see food, our stomachs may growl and our mouths salivate.

  • Upon hearing the voice of an old friend, our hearts may leap for joy.

  • And one smell of grandma´s cooking can invoke memories

  • from years past. However, the wonder of our physical sophistication

  • pales In comparison to our spiritual nature.

  • Man is self conscious and able to contemplate himself.

  • Man was created a rational being - - Endowed with the faculty of reason

  • and the ability to learn. Man was given the capacity to retain past

  • experiences, and his memory makes it possible for him to

  • reflect on the goodness of God.

  • According to the Genesis record, man was made in the image of God.

  • That means he had attributes, abilities, capacities that God had given him.

  • When we read the Genesis 4 record, which is after the Fall,

  • we still see these abilities and capacities. For example, man could build cities.

  • He could make and play musical instruments. He understood metallurgy. He understood agriculture.

  • He could write poetry and literature. As well, man was created with a spiritual

  • component. Man had a free will to choose, had a conscience.

  • So we see God created man unique from the rest of the creation.

  • There are many differences between mankind and animals.

  • One verse that comes to mind is over in Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 11.

  • It´s the verse that says we are special, that God has put eternity in our hearts.

  • That is, we have a concept of history of the past

  • and present, and future. This is different from animals that live for

  • today. We are a special creation.

  • Another wonderful gift of the Creator to man is emotion.

  • It gives him color and richness, feeling, and the capacity for joy and laughter.

  • Only man, of all creatures on earth, can appreciate and inspiring symphony

  • or rejoice in the beauty of a sunset. And man alone, is a free, moral agent

  • Responsible to God and to society. The only explanation to account for morality

  • in man is the fact revealed in the Scriptures; namely, that man

  • was created in the image of God, and therefore,

  • made like God, a moral being. In addition to being almighty and all wise,

  • the Bible states that God is completely holy. He always does what is right.

  • God cannot lie, He cannot sin, and He is always faithful and true.

  • How can we know that God is just ? Scripture explains that the Lord has written

  • His law on every heart.

  • The Creator´s holy nature is revealed to every man

  • through conscience. Conscience is our God-given knowledge of right

  • and wrong. Therefore man knows that his Creator is both

  • the moral law-giver and the judge. Anna, do you have a conscience?

  • I believe I do have a conscience. Do you believe everyone has a conscience?

  • Absolutely. - But you have a conscience ?

  • - Yes. - Where did it come from ?

  • - I don´t know. The Bible makes it very clear that the knowledge

  • of God is written on our hearts.

  • Even that knowledge of right and wrong. - Have you ever told a lie ?

  • - Yes. - What does that make you?

  • - A liar. A liar, right?

  • - Have you ever stolen anything? - Yes.

  • - What does that make you? - A thief.

  • Just supposing you are in a shop, in a store someplace,

  • and there´s something that you really need. And it´s just sitting there and nobody´s

  • around watching it. You say to yourself, “I haven´t brought

  • my wallet. I forgot that.”

  • Nobody looking. In the pocket. It goes in. You walk out.

  • And nobody, challenges you. You got away with it!

  • Inside, what are you thinking? At night when you go bed, what are you thinking?

  • And I think anybody knows fully well that the thoughts

  • will go around in your head: I stole thatThis is a conscience.

  • Have you always obeyed your God-given conscience? No. No.

  • Have you ever used your Creator´s name, the God who gave you taste buds

  • and eyesight and every good gift, ever use His name as a curse word?

  • Yes, I have. Jesus said, “You have heard it said,

  • You shall not commit adultery.” But I say that if you look at a girl lustfully

  • you have committed adultery in your heart.”

  • Have you ever looked at a girl lustfully? Yeah, I have.

  • Okay, so you broke that commandment, right? Yeah.

  • God says He has written His law in every human conscience.

  • So they are all without excuse. Everyone knows that he´s a sinner.

  • Everyone knows he´s broken God´s law. Everyone knows he hasn´t done right.

  • We have the ability to know right and wrong. If we have the ability to know what is good,

  • then God also must know. He must be the ultimate revelation of morality

  • The Creator. Yeah. Of what´s right. Of what´s good.

  • Cause how would we know what was right or wrong?

  • Yeah. I know. That´s amazing. The fact that every man knows right from wrong,

  • what does that tell us about God´s character and nature?

  • That He´s just. If God were to judge based on the holy standard,

  • would you be guilty or innocent? Guilty.

  • So if you are guilty as a blaspheming, lying, thief,

  • on the day of judgment, would God send you to heaven or hell,

  • based on the Ten Commandments? Uh, I would definitely go to hell.

  • Do we have to face the almighty Judge ? And yes, we do.

  • And that being so, we would be found guilty of whatever we´ve done.

  • The conscience tells me there is Someone to whom

  • I am accountable. He is my Creator.

  • And I know that I have not lived up to His standards.

  • Have you ever used God´s name in vain ? Like, On my God?

  • Yeah. Can you think of a time when your conscience

  • just screamed at you? Something you did in the past where it was

  • like, “Alan, don´t do that!”

  • Or, “Alan, you shouldn´t have done that.” Yeah.

  • If you can remember that, do you think our Creator can?

  • Yes. Do you think conscience tells us we need a

  • Savior ? Yes!

  • And you know that it took a God of personal love and concern,

  • but of unbending justice. It´s the only way it can be.

  • We can´t get Him to change His laws. He´s the only one who could have put that

  • conscience within us so that we experience

  • It´s really God that we´re experiencing through our conscience.

  • Though creation shows forth God´s wonders, it presents a mixed message.

  • For in the midst of such beauty and order, we observe disease decay, and death.

  • Not surprisingly, it is the Bible alone which explains

  • this apparent contradiction. In the beginning God created everything perfect.

  • However man was given a free will and a choice. Sadly, he chose to rebel against His creator.

  • As God warned Adam, sin resulted in suffering and death.

  • The curse described in Genesis affected all creation,

  • and today we see the horrible results. However, there is good news!

  • Before time began God had a plan to rescue manking.

  • Because the penaulty for sin is death, the Creator came to earth as a man

  • lived a sinless life, and died to pay the penalty

  • for our sins. He then rose from the dead and offers forgiveness

  • and eternal life to all who will trust Him. As this film has been portraying, in Creation,

  • we see the wisdom and power the wonder of God

  • His concern for His creatures.

  • But you can´t look at it without realizing something is wrong.

  • It´s like we have a memory deep within our conscience of a time

  • when there was a paradise, and it´s lost! God made a beautiful world. It was perfect

  • to start with. But because of man´s sin, now it´s a groaning

  • world. So we see beauty and we see groaning and we

  • see ugliness. But it all seems contradictory.

  • But that´s only because it is a fallen world. It´s so easy to see the God of wonders just

  • on stroll through Whatever neighborhood we might live in.

  • You know, birds fluttering overhead, Majestic beauty of flowers, the glory of a

  • sunset. Yet many of you may be troubled like I was

  • as a young man, trained in biology: Well, what about all the

  • birth defects, disease, disaster, fires, floods, famines,

  • plagues? Where is God in all of these things?

  • Is that the God of wonders who did that ? The Bible tells us quite clearly: No!

  • The God of wonders is the one who created the wonders we see,

  • the marvels of beauty and design. Unfortunately, man rebelled against God.

  • But what God did was absolutely phenomenal. Even though we rebelled against Him

  • and we don´t deserve to even live. We don´t deserve existence.

  • He stepped into history to become one of us. Jesus said, “God so loved the world,

  • so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.”

  • Would you give your son, knowing that He´s going

  • to be hated and persecuted and scourged and beaten,

  • mocked and crucified? God knew what would happen. And I often think

  • of Jesus. He knew from eternity past what He would face.

  • Someone might wonder how a man who walked the dusty roads

  • Of Israel so long ago could possibly save us from death.

  • How could He possibly raise us to new life? But remember, the Christ who died for us

  • Is the Creator of life. What an awesome God!

  • The fact that He would actually step into history to pay

  • the penalty for our sin and then offer a free gift of salvation

  • to save us from what we did. You see, in actuality, we committed high treason

  • against the God of creation, and yet, He loved us so much

  • He stepped into history to provide the payment for our sins so that we can spend eternity

  • with Him. Wow, what an awesome God!

  • According to the Scriptures, this great Creator is the one

  • who not only made everything but who redeemed us

  • from our sins. Jesus Christ came to this earth,

  • Lived a perfect life in our place, Died upon the cross, His blood was shed.

  • Three days later, He´s resurrected. He lives today.

  • And whosoever believes in Him And acknowledges Him as acknowledges who we

  • are and what we´ve done as asks for forgiveness,

  • and repent from our sins, can enter into a relationship

  • with the Creator that will last for eternity. This is the Good News!

  • Perhaps the most wondrous of all the aspects of creation

  • is that God would not leave us alone. He sent His own Son to restore things.

  • And we look forward to His coming again, when once again,

  • The wolf and the lamb will lie down together. “They´ll not hurt nor destroy in all My

  • holy mountain, “but the earth will be full of the knowledge

  • of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”

  • That marvelous passage in Isaiah. Wow, God´s redeeming love!

  • That´s the greatest wonder of all. Truly our Creator is the God of wonders.

  • And the greatest wonder is His immeasurable love.

  • Scripture states that God is love and He demonstrated this

  • Love toward us by stepping down from heaven to offer His life

  • so that we might be reconciled to Him forever! Jesus Christ is the Creator.

  • On the cross He bore our sins and then rose from the dead.

  • The Lord now offers everlasting life to all who will turn

  • from their sins and trust in Him personally. By placing your faith in Jesus Christ you

  • can enter into a relationship with the Creator of the

  • universe that will last forever.

  • This is His free gift and His desire for you. To God alone who does such great wonders,

  • be glory, thanksgiving and honor forever!

  • Bless the Lord, O my soul Bless His holy, His wonderful Name!

  • Bless the Lord, O my soul for His love will forever remain

  • your Creator is worthy of praise your Sustainer has poured out His grace

  • He poured our His mercy on those who would fear Him

  • He poured out His love, His forgiveness of sin

  • Bless the Lord, O my soul Bless His holy, His wonderful Name!

  • Sing to Him a new tune sing to Him from the deep of your soul

  • Meditate on His word don´t forget His stripes made you whole
