As a lay person I gave a sermon, with the original Hubble photo on a big poster as backdrop.
Part of it was to show the POWER of God.
Part of it was to show the LOVE of God. Something like: “The huge expanse of the heavens, so beyond our ability to understand - it reminds me of a daddy flinging his arms out and saying ‘I love you THIS much!’)
And it is an example of the infinite GRACE that He gives us, by the sacrifice of His infinite Son (the alpha and omega).
Great post.
Wonder how/why God picked the Earth out of untold planets.
I guess it had to be one of them :)
