SMALL FROM ALTITUDE

When I was working, I flew to many places in the country.  As I looked down upon the earth from 35,000 feet the things of men were so small that only the largest buildings were obvious.  It would have been difficult to pick out a semi-truck when looking at superhighways.  Indeed, I never saw one.  If a person were to stand in the middle of an intersection, and you were told where to look, you could not possibly see him.  From the sky as the eye wanders over the rest of the earth you realize how insignificant the person would seem.  The smallness of that person, that place, becomes astounding.  Yet through such a means God saved the world.  Think of God, Jesus, being in one human body. 

The vantage point of the plane demonstrates a small part of the expanse of Gods comprehension.  He comprehends what the human eye in the plane sees, and much more.  Think of this single man Jesus who, while in the flesh, has the vantage point of the plane.  ". . . and the Word became flesh and dwelt  among men."
