Come and See

I am studying a lesson titled “Come and See” about people bringing others to see Jesus.  I love this idea because its focus is on our eyes and then our ears.  They come and see Jesus and then they hear him.  A few years ago, while searching for an Advent devotional for our Advent season I discovered Hubble Advent.  It is a series of images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, one a night, that gives such beauty to our understanding of Christ coming in power.  It has been a part of our Advent ever since.  This year it wasn’t posted, and I longed for Christ to come to my eyes through the beautiful images of his creative whimsy.  Last night at the end of our Advent I decided to check again and lo and behold there it was—Christ had come to see us once again.  As I understand it God is creating the whole cosmos for one reason, to tell everyone He loves them, has a plan for each of our lives, and wants desperately for us to spend eternity with Him.  

“You will see heaven open up and angles descending…”.   This year again, Hubble opened the heavens so that we can see Christ.  

“God’s splendor is a tale that is told, written in the stars.  Space itself speaks his story through the marvels of the heavens.  His truth is on tour in the starry vault of the sky, showing his skill in creation’s craftsmanship.”  Psalms 19:1…
