Teachers use object lessons to teach big concepts with small things. And some of the objects they use are pretty big themselves. However, no teacher has ever taught a lesson using a larger object than God used. He used EVERYTHING!


Romans 1:20 says God’s eternal power and divine nature can be understood by observing what He has made. He made everything. We’re talking galaxies, here. We’re talking systems of galaxies. As big as things get, He made them. Not only did He make things, but He also made the space in between the things. And He made the time it takes to get from one thing to another. Our finite minds can hardly conceive of it all!


As great as that seems, remember what teachers do: they teach big concepts with small things. Compared to God’s eternal power and divine nature, the universe is only a small thing being used in a lesson. And that lesson includes us. God knows us and wants us to know Him. It’s why He entered our world as a man and drew near. Could there be a more important lesson
to study?
