Good Thursday morning! In reading Pastor Rogers' devotional this morning, I am struck by how even a small part of something can point to Jesus. In looking at a star, or at least what we think we know of one star, it might not seem that it is something that specifically points to Jesus. However, I remember, or at least we tend to assume, that Jesus was born at night, when one could see the stars spread out in the heavens. A star does something else that points to Jesus; it produces light, in other words it shines. Where does it shine? Right, in the darkness. A virus might not seem to point to Jesus, we would think of a virus as a part of the curse on this world and that is probably true. However, our body has the ability to defeat a virus; who but Jesus would have created that ability in us? Jesus spent much of his time on this earth healing the sick; we can say that all healing comes from Him and points to Him.
We can spend time thinking of most anything and sooner or later we will find that it somehow points to Jesus; if He isn't the source of a particular thing, then He is the answer to it. For example: Jesus certainly is not the source of sin, but He is most certainly the answer to it! He is not the source of darkness; He is the source of light, the answer to darkness. On and on we could go. This Thanksgiving we might take a moment to show gratitude to the source of all that is wonderful, Jesus Christ.
God bless you on this fine day!
