你知道,我们谈论关于永恒的理解超出了一个人的头脑,这是事实。如果你仅仅的注视天文学,一个人会被表面的天文学的知识弄疯掉。当你思想围绕你周围的事物的尺寸和错综复杂的关系的时候,你会发现永远没有尽头。

然而,耶稣基督,为你而死的那位,为众门徒洗脚的那位,是创造这一切并维持其正常运作的那一位。

保罗·华许 – 呼唤奇迹

你知道,我们谈论关于永恒的理解超出了一个人的头脑,这是事实
如果你仅仅的注视天文学,一个人会被表面的天文学的知识弄疯掉
当你思想围绕你周围的事物的尺寸和错综复杂的关系的时候
如果你进入太空,你会发现那里没有尽头
数千万光年也无法遍及那空间
然而基督,为你而死的那位,为众门徒洗脚的那位
是创造这一切并维持其正常运作的那一位
如果把整个宇宙想象成一个超级电脑
宇宙的大小尺寸都是人的能力无法涉及的,更别说解密它们
就是这么不可思议
而这源头就是这位出生在马槽里的
耶稣真的需要人的敬拜吗
如果我们都不接受他的话,他真的会孤独吗
会让他受到重大的损失吗
他有的国度是无法计算的
我的小男孩埃文,前天晚上开始哭泣
他说想去见南纳
南纳是我妈妈
然后我说,埃文,你知道你的奶奶死了,他会在天堂你知道吗
埃文问那她在天堂会开心吗
我说会,她非常开心
但是她在那做什么呢
现在我们试着放下一切来想象一下她在天堂要做的事情
让我问你一个问题
你对这些有足够的好奇心吗
你对任何事情都会好奇吗
这相信有奇迹吗
或者你已经不再在乎到底事情怎样了
你是不是不再认真思想那等待你的是什么
你会惊讶他创造了世界吗
他创造了宇宙
你应该要惊讶
但是背后有一个更值得令人惊叹的
保持这样一切复杂的事情有序的进行
如此的惊骇
他保持着整个宇宙时刻维持正常
自始至终所以的永恒都毫不费力
在他的大能面前就如羽毛一样无足轻重
现在这种力量

Paul Washer – A Call to Wonder

You know, we talk about eternity as being beyond the comprehension of a man’s mind, and that is true.
If you just look at astronomy, a man literally could go mad in astronomy.
When you think of the size and complexity of everything around you.
If you go out into space it goes on and on and on…
thousands upon millions of lightyears, on and on outward.
Yet Christ, the One who died for you, the One who washed the disciple’s feet,
is the One who did this and sustains it.
If the whole universe was a super computer,
a super computer the size of the universe could not bring together and hold together the complexities, even to understand them.
It’s just phenomenal,
and this is the One who was born in a manger.
Does Jesus really need the worship of men?
and would He really be lonely if none of us accepted Him?
Would it be that great of loss?
He has worlds unnumbered.
My little boy Evan, two nights ago started crying.
He said “I want to go visit Nanna.”
Nanna was my mother,
and I said “Evan, you know that she died and that she’s in heaven.”
Evan said “Well is she happy?”
“Oh Yes, she is very happy.”
“But what is she doing?”
So we just set down and tried to imagine some of the things that she is doing.
Let me ask you.
Do you marvel enough?
Do you marvel at anything?
Is there any wonder?
Do you no longer sit down and wonder what’s up there?
Do you no longer just sit and think about what’s waiting for you?
Your amazed that He created the world?
That He created the universe?
You ought to be!
But there is something even greater,
to keep all of these complexities going.
Is astounding!
He sustains the entire universe moment by moment
throughout all of eternity without effort.
And it’s lighter then a feather to Him,
now that’s power.
