Lord of the Universe
Tumingala kayo sa langit! Sino ba ang lumikha ng mga bituin? Sino ba ang sa kanila’y nagpapakilos, at sino ba ang nagbigay ng kanilang pangalan? Dahil sa kanyang dakilang kapangyarihan, walang nawala sa kanila kahit isa man.
Isaias 40:26
Alam mo ba na ang largest galaxy known to man has over 100 trillion stars? The stars and everything in space are moving, and yet they don‘t collide with each other! Hindi alam ni prophet Isaiah ang mind-blowing info na ito. But he knows the awesome God who‘s in control of the galaxies. Can we know this God?
Yes, we can, because the Lord of the universe has made Himself known through His only Son, Jesus Christ. Siya “ay naging tao at nanirahan sa piling namin” (Juan 1:14). Born of a virgin, lumaki sa Nazareth, nangaral ng Mabuting Balita ng pag-ibig ng Diyos, nagpakain ng nagugutom, nagpagaling ng maysakit, gumawa ng maraming himala. And yet, He was rejected by His own people. Pinatay ng mga relihiyoso ng Kanyang panahon. Ipinako sa krus tulad ng isang kriminal. But death could not contain Him — because He is Lord of the universe (Colossians 1:16). Siya‘y nabuhay muli, nag-iwan ng Great Commission sa Kanyang followers, at nagbalik sa langit sa presensya ng Diyos Ama. One day, He shall return to this world that rejected Him — and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord (Philippians 2:10–11). And from that day on, the Lord of the Universe will live among all the peoples and nations that worship Him.
