For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39, ESV
When we are found in Christ, literally nothing can pull us from the grip of God’s hand or remove the seal of the Holy Spirit.
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as the dust on the scales; behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust. Lebanon would not suffice for fuel, nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him, they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
Isaiah 40:15-17, ESV
At Advent, we look back at why Jesus had to come, that He came, and then that He will come again.
Our sins have stacked up to heaven, deeper and more vile than we could know.
We think that our sin is basically nothing, but we are so good and important.
Our sin is greater than we think, having separated us from the God of the universe.
Even our scientists can see and admit that on our little planet in this vast universe we are insignificant, our planet comparable to an electron in an atom.
Compared to God, we are even smaller, still thinking we can do anything that can appease His wrath for our sin.
Our planet barely registers as dust on the scales of God’s justice.
We are like nothing.
We therefore prepare ourselves by admitting we don’t understand as much as we think we do, turning to our Creator and Savior who makes us worthy.
May we seek the Lord who has no reason to consider us, yet He still loves us and saves us.
