Now Eye See

 "For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what was made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20

    If you were to create a human eye, how long would it take you? Where would you get the necessary materials? How many botched prototypes would lie crumpled in the laboratory wastebasket before you got it right? Don't forget even one of the millions of rods and cones which are contained in the retina, because each is needed to detect dim light and color. Even if you could correctly bundle the fibers of the optic nerve, how would you then connect it to a brain? If you failed to hook up the flow of aqueous humor, all your hard work would be for naught when your eyeball died of malnutrition. If, by some miracle, you did create a fully working eyeball from nothing in a matter of weeks, how would you feel if no one believed you made it?

    When my granddaughter first made her presence known to her parents, she was the size of a poppy seed. By the time she grew to the size of a cauliflower, her eyes were fully formed; she could blink in response to light. How can this miracle be explained if one does not believe in God, the Maker of heaven and earth? It is heresy at the highest form to say there is no God! Surely, "men are without excuse."

    It amazes me what great lengths people will go to deny God. They misuse the brains God gave them to come up with pitiful explanations for our existence, or they just go through life, happily enjoying all the bounty and blessings of their human bodies, claiming this is all there is. When the curtain falls, they just go into the ground like a dead squirrel. 

    What it all boils down to is this: they cannot accept the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Since everything was made through Him, for Him and by Him, there is no way around Him unless you pretend He isn't there, and the true irony of the whole matter is: He loves us enough to allow us to deny Him. But look how much wonder, grace, love and freedom they refuse to see!

    "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see." 

"Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3
