What a great day to learn about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I have learned so much today, and I still have a lot left!
The day opened with a Community Group session. Community Groups, by the way, are a smaller grouping, a fraction of the 22,000 people here. That way, more personal connection can be made. This morning, we looked at Philippians 2, which talks about some characteristics of Christ, and how Christians should imitate Him. Particularly, we discussed the servant heart of Christ, and how He was obedient, even up until the cross.
One girl, a student at Texas A&M University, discussed how we are tiny and dumb compared to Christ, like ants compared to a human. This is truer than we realize: we are puny compared to God. Like ants, we have limited information about life. We focus almost purely on our meaningless tasks. The only difference is that we move around things other than just dirt. Regardless, it's all pointless.
Christ fits the role of the person, as well. He sees the entire anthill of our world: every ant, every job, and every good and bad thing found within the anthill. In fact, he designed the anthill, and the only reason it isn't perfect is because there is imperfection in places that reject the designer.
But here's the crazy part: the "human" volunteered to become an ant, be squashed in the nest He designed by other ants, and then rise again...to save the ants. Would you save the ants? I know I wouldn't.
Let's just praise God that He came to the ants, and was willing to be one to save us all.
