The population of this world is reckoned to be 7.9 billion people, that's a lot of people, it makes one feel insignificant,after all what is the importance one person. Am I of any value ?,am I just a number ?,do we matter?. Consider the universe ,the vastness of it is beyond any of us to take in,the number of galaxies is reckoned to be about 2 trillion, the Milky way is reckoned to have 40 billion stars.The question one could ask, are we of any significance?.The answer to the questions, as to the significance,of us ,as individuals, is ,yes. To understand the truth of this we must have faith in as Brennan Manning puts it,'The divine incomprehensibility', 'God'. Without Him nothing would exist, this incomprehensible being, made all things, and it appears that all the planets, stars,and Galaxies are in some way just ornamental, and this little planet earth and its inhabitants are vital in Gods estimation. In fact one day all the galaxies with their planets and stars ,and planet earth will cease to exist, and will be replaced by a new heaven and earth, where all who know Christ will exist. As to the here and now, are we as individuals significant? yes we most definitely are, Consider that most significant event in human history , the death of Jesus on the cross, this was God intervening, to save men and women, As to our insignificance, Augustine put it like this,'If you were the only person on planet earth, Christ would have suffered and died for you', You are significant to God ,but is he significant to you?,have you responded to His great love for you?, by seeking Jesus as your Saviour?
