1st Corinthians 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
A lot of noise and fanfare was made when the Brits unveiled the Concorde, taking commercial air travel to an unprecedented new level at that time. The jet utilized four Olympus engines, each one capable of producing 36,000 horsepower, for a total of 144,000 horses. It then flew from New York to London in just under three hours, effectively shaving off about five hours of the travel time normally taken by a conventional aircraft.
But this accomplishment, huge though it be pales in comparison, with the time it took Jesus to travel from earth to heaven, which He did in a single day, without any pollution, and without any noise. According to NASA, the extent of our observable galaxy is about 100,000 light years across, and since light travels at 186,282 miles per second we would be looking at a very long time to cover a fraction of that distance.
But Jesus went much further and faster than that in less than a day, and returned safely to earth in one piece. And since the Bible documents that fact, it calls into question man’s understanding of certain aspects of science as it pertains to travel. NASA says unequivocally that “nothing travels faster than light”, but since the sacred record is true, it will mean that Christ travels much faster than light, for heaven is beyond the most distant known galaxy, of which the estimate number already observed is no less than two trillion.
Psalms 103:Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
