Romans 1:20- “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”
In the very stars of heaven, God proclaims his great love for us.
God sent us a Valentine!!
His love knows no bounds. His message is written in His Word and in the heavenly bodies of the universe. That’s right! They aren’t just beautiful creations of light hung there for our enjoyment. (Although that was certainly part of His intent).
They were, in fact, put there to tell God’s story of His love, and plan of redemption.
This may be a new concept for you, but read on…
Quite some time ago, my mother-in-law gave me the most fascinating book by the late James Kennedy called, The Real Meaning of the Zodiac. It contains his well-documented research, as well as that of eight other well-known Bible scholars. It is an astounding account of God’s love.
The book was printed as a special TBN Edition in 1989 and one of their most requested publications ever. In it, Dr. Kennedy unfolds the timeless story of God’s love—His Gospel in the stars.
The Bible tells us that He called all of the stars “the host of heaven,” that He numbered them, ordered them, and set them in the firmament to be signs. (Although their original meaning has been corrupted into something counterfeit by astrologers.)
His marvelous masterpiece, the art gallery of God, depicts the message of redemption revealing to man the account of the coming, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
That’s right. The way of salvation is revealed beautifully for us in the heavens!
Dr. Kennedy begins the explanation of the true Zodiac with Virgo, or the Virgin and the birth of the incarnate Son of God. He continues the “great celestial preaching of the Gospel” with the other eleven signs, ending with Leo, The Lion, which depicts Christ’s victory over sin, the world, and Satan.
By citing specific scripture for each sign, Dr. Kennedy reminds us that God has done all of this so that we might know of God’s love…that we might know His son as our savior, and so that the glory of Jesus and his redemption might fill our hearts with wonder and praise.
He loves me. He loves you.
He has told us so in His Word, in the heavens, and by sending us the gift of salvation through his son, Jesus.
May you never look at the night sky in quite the same way again.
It is His Valentine to mankind.
