The Cosmos

Isn’t it astounding that God who is almighty should be concerned about us? When we think of how big the universe is, it is even more astounding that we are so important to God. Our solar system with the sun at the center and the eight planets revolving around it, is just one solar system in our galaxy called the Milky Way. The Milky Way may have 100,000 million solar systems similar to our own i.e. 100,000 million suns with their own planets. It is 100,000 light years in diameter. The Milky Way is just one galaxy in the universe which is thought to contain about 8,000 million galaxies. It is truly beyond comprehension. We are indeed nothing by comparison but in fact we are more important than all the solar systems, all the galaxies and the entire universe itself because we are God’s beloved. God has a wonderful plan for us, and that plan is Jesus—salvation through the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.
