Would it startle you if I dared to say that the living God has never
done anything in His universe apart from Jesus Christ? Christians seem
to be woefully unaware of the full meaning and measure of the grace of
God. Why should we question God's provision when the Holy Spirit tells
us through the Apostle John that the Word who became flesh is "full of
grace and truth"? Brethren, the stars in their courses, the frogs that
croak beside the lake, the angels in heaven above and men and women on
earth below-all came out of the channel we call the eternal Word!

In the book of Revelation, John bears record of the whole universe
joining to give praise to the Lamb that was slain.

Under the earth and on the earth, and above the earth John heard
creatures praising Jesus Christ, all joining in a great chorus: "Worthy
is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and
strength, and honor, and glory and blessing!" Yes, surely the entire
universe is beneficiary of God's rich grace in Jesus Christ!
