A man’s got to know the Big Picture! God, the Father, and the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the One and only God, the most blessed and holy Trinity-Triune GOD has revealed to mankind from the beginning who He is, what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do in the future! Everything we need to know and the questions that have always been asked from the beginning of human history are all contained in the written word of God, the Holy Bible. In these sacred pages is God’s story from the beginning to the very end of all things from Creation to Salvation to Eternity set forth in GOD’S Plan of the Ages, from Genesis through Revelation!

Ever wonder how everything works? How the earth is just there in the darkness of space-held there in place by what force? How it is just the perfect distance from a star called the Sun as it travels around the Sun in one year…and this has been repeated with not one error year after year for the past 6,000 years! And what about that other great globe that hovers above the Earth, that revolves around the earth and is held there by some great force we call “gravity”? Where did this force come from and how is it sustained year after year? It doesn’t shoot out into space and it doesn’t come crashing to earth, but keeps its perfect distance as it always has right from the beginning, the very beginning when GOD created the heaven and the earth and all things seen and unseen in just six, 24 hour regular days by His Almighty power. He holds all things together and sustains all things by the power of His Word! Now, more than ever before one can begin to grasp this truth by seeing the pictures set back to earth by the Webb Telescope which display the incredible vastness of the universe, the beauty of the universe and the countless billions of galaxies made up of countless billions of stars and countless billions of planets and moons, there is no finding the end of it! And where might Heaven be then, GOD’S eternal home?

If we could take a comprehensive view of God’s great plan from eternity to eternity, how might we proceed? Well, per Louis T. Talbot, D.D., and his wonderful work, “GOD’S Plan of the Ages,” 1936 (Reprinted 1986). let’s begin with the past eternity, and revert to the time before there was a universe, before a planet was ever brought into existence, before even the angels were created. Into eternity past we find out those things that have neither beginning nor end: (1) The eternal God (2) the eternal Son (3) the eternal Spirit; and (4) the eternal Purpose. Namely, the Eternal Triune GOD: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity…with our finite minds, how can we understand how God can be three Persons, yet one God? As the story goes…”Some years ago a weak-minded boy, who was never known to utter a rational sentence, while on his death bed, looked up and spoke these amazing words:

“I see-I see-what do I see? There is One, and One in three; And the One in the middle-He died for me.”

All these things speak to the praise and glory of the Almighty and Eternal and Immortal and Creator and Sustainer God, who’s plan of Salvation rests in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for the pinnacle of His creation, man and women, made in the image and likeness of God, but who sinned and needed a Redeemer to pay for his sins, and that in faith-in true belief in Jesus Christ’s atoning death for our sins, in true repentance, we have forgiveness and eternal life with God forever!

To the great praise and glory to God for His wonderful, magnificent, stupendous, marvelous universe, the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, nothing can compare with His great, great, great love for us in Christ Jesus for our salvation and eternal life with Him forever and ever…this be to the Praise and Glory to God, and forever more.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
