me: Compared to God, everything is minor.

you: Is His own death and resurrection for your sins thus minor?

That God is timeless is revealed in His Name I AM.

Lamb of God is also His Name, timelessly.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. – Revelation 13:8

The operative part is His Blood not that I in particular am one of those covered by His Blood.

And again, only God is on the throne,

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. – Revelation 5:6

And again, His Blood makes peace so that all of heaven and earth are reconciled by and to Him.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence.

For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.– Colossians 1:15-20

The creature is reconciled to the Creator. It's about Him, not me.

To God be the glory, not man, never man.

Sure you are. We all are. We are all walking miracles, because God condescended to die for each one of us.
