It was J.B. Phillip's who wrote the following fantasy,' A senior angel is showing a very young angel around the splendors of the universe ,all those billions of stars and whirling galaxies . As the two drew near to the star we call our sun and its circling planets, the senior angle pointed to a small and rather insignificant sphere turning very slowly on its axis, It looked as dull as a dirty tennis ball to the little angel, whose mind was filled with the size and glory of what he had seen. ''I want you to watch that one in particular'', said the senior angel, pointing with his finger. ''Well it looks very small and rather dirty to me'', said the little angel. ''What's special about that one?'', To that little angel, earth did not seem so impressive. He listened in stunned belief as the senior angel told him that this planet, small and insignificant and not overly clean , was the renowned Visited Planet. Do you mean that our great and glorious Prince went down in person to this fifth -rate little ball ?. Why should He do a thing like that? The little angel's face wrinkled in disgust,'' Do you mean to tell me, that He stooped so low to become one of those creeping, and crawling creatures of that floating ball? I do, and I don't think He would like you to call them , creeping , crawling creatures in that tone of voice. For strange as it may seem to us, He loves them. He went down to visit them to lift them up to become like Him.'' The little angel looked blank. Such a thought was almost beyond his comprehension.
John 3 v16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
