VANTAGE POINTS

12 September 1994

A while ago I was flying in the plane on my way to the MACS (Marine Corps Air Station) at Tustin, California I looked down upon the earth from 35000 feet.  Things of men were so small that only the largest of buildings were obvious.  When looking at a super highway it would have been difficult to pick out a semi truck.  Indeed, I never saw one.  If a person, like say Jesus, was standing in the middle of an intersection you might know in your mind he was there but you could not possibly see him.  Then let your eye wander over the rest of the earth that you could see.  The smallness of that place  where Jesus is becomes astounding.


Yet through such a means (a human body) God saved the world.  Think of God living in one human body.  Compare to John 1:14 . . . and the Word became flesh and dwelt among men . . .


The vantage point of the plane demonstrates the expansiveness of God's comprehension.  He comprehends what the human eye in the plane sees . . . and every thing else.
