God Attribute, 6

 ~ God Is Big ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  The triune God is the creator or all (Genesis 1-2).

 

Jesus Christ has power over nature such as controlling the weather (Matthew 8:26-27), walking on water (Matthew 14:25) and turning water into wine (John 2:1-12).  He also performed many miracles some of which are recorded in the four Gospels.

 

“He [Jesus Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist” (Colossians 1:15-17).

 

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is all powerful, all knowing, and is everywhere at once

 

Scripture  ~  “I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images [made up gods or anything or anyone else]” (Isaiah 42:8).

 

Comment  ~  Enjoy this story from an unknown source:

A boy asked his Father: “Dad, what is the size of God?” 

The father looked up at the sky and saw a plane and asked his son: “What is the size of that plane?” 

The boy replied: “It is very small.  I can hardly see it.  Then, the father took him to the airport and as they approached a plane he asked: “Now, my son, how big is this plane?”

The boy replied: “Wow Dad, it’s huge!”

Then the father told him: “God’s size depends on how close or far you are from Him.  The closer you are to Him, the greater and greater He will be in your life!”
