Big God!

Greetings!

How are you all doing? I just felt like posting some stuffs that I've learned today at the Saturday Service/Celebration here in the blog to share with those who can't make it to Service =D.

So actually it's supposed to be Pastor Alejandro Arias preaching tonite at Zion Praise Harvest UWA zone, but he had some problem with his visa and can't make it in time to Perth. Please pray for him so that he might be able to come to Australia and to ZPH yea? Ps Alejadro is a very powerful preacher and you don't wanna miss it if he preaches!


Ps. Alejandro in ZPH Curtin last year (2008). Josh our zone sup is behind =p. Click here to go to Ps. Alejandro's website.

So instead we had a preacher preach to us thru DVD =p. I forgot his name but he preaches a very good message. Basically he is telling us of how big and great is our God that created the universe!

We all know that the Earth is quite Big rite? I mean it IS big...How bout the universe? We know we live on Earth, which part of the Solar System, which is in the Milky Way Galaxy. To know how Big is the Milky Way Galaxy we have to do some maths here...haha but it's a simple one =p.

At Genesis God created light, and all of us Uni students SHOULD know that light travels at 3x10^8 m/s, or 300000000 m/s. With the speed of light you can travel around Earth 7.5 times in a second! Now imagine the distance light will travel in one year, that is

300000000 m/s x 31557600 s = ???? metres

And this quatity is known as Light Years.

And Now the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is 100,000 Light Years ! Can you imagine how big is that? In the Milky Way Galaxy there's like over 200 Billion stars and the Sun is only one of them. Click here to check out our Milky Way Galaxy.

And that's not the end! Our Milky Way Galaxy is only one of the many many many Galaxies in the Universe! The Known Universe is said to be 93 Billion Light Years in Diameter! We said Know Universe because we haven't actually find out how BIG is the universe!

Does it appear to be unlogical to you if we say the universe is meant for us? Cause it's just too big for us! But if you fit God into the picture, the universe seem to be just about the right size for out God. The universe declares His Glory!!

So what have I learned? I learned that I am really small compared to our God. And our problems are absolutely nothing compared to our God! It's funny to see that we humans are often so full of ourself and so selfish, when we are only a vapour in the wind.

One more interesting thing!

This is The Whirlpool Galaxy which is located 31 million light years away....

And in the middle of the galaxy....this the picture the Hubble telescope caught:

It's a resemblence of Jesus dying on the cross for us...seems like even after 31 million light years away, Jesus is still telling us that He love us so much and died for us to set us free from sin...

God is Great, Amen?

Get refreshed and prepared for the coming week ya? Keep in touch!
