Who made God?

A friend of mine who lives in England came to Australia last week and her baby had difficulty sleeping at first. Now that could be “Jet Lag” or could it be that she and her mother are now upside down, which for us who dwell “down under” is perfectly normal, (as you can see if you look at this Globe of the world). I know we are held on to this big ball by gravity but no matter how you look at it we are in a ridiculous position compared with Europeans up on top. Aren’t we? It’s a weird universe, Isn’t it?

Another thing, Scientists who explore space with all types of telescopes say that there is no end to space. Consequently, even if we could travel at colossal speed out there to examine the Galaxies, we would go on for ever and ever. Can your mind also absorb that? I hope it can because Jesus said that our lives are like that too. In 10,000,000,000 years (after we have left our human bodies behind), we will still be enjoying life in good healthy bodies and our future will be likewise limitless. You will note that I said “enjoying life”, well that is not necessarily so, as it only applies to us if we accepted the forgiveness that Jesus earned for us at the cross of Calvary, otherwise we will be spending all that time in a Hell of a place.   When we consider Eternity, our life here is just the equivalent of one tick of a clock (or even less), so we must make sure we have sorted that out. Because “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

We have a free will, God won’t “gate crash” our lives, but the Holy Spirit is waiting to help and we have a guardian angel standing by too. Some “Smart Alec” might tell you that they are not there, simply because he can’t see them.

Well of course they can’t be seen, they are in a different dimension so are not visible to our eyes, unless they want to be. Really it is to our advantage that we can’t hear and see everything that is around us in those different dimensions. If we could, our lives would be unbearable because there are millions of phone calls, text messages, scores of television pictures, and information going and coming to i phones and tablets through the room where we are standing and if we suddenly became aware of it all, we wouldn’t be able to stand the “din,” and we couldn’t see through it to the wall opposite either. Life is fascinating, most of what we enjoy is invisible to our eyes: Air and electricity can’t be seen but we enjoy using them constantly, Love is invisible but we all appreciate it, as we also appreciate beauty and friendship, contentment and the lovely taste of things. We don’t even understand our remarkable bodies: For example, our heart pumps 70 Millilitres of blood per beat which means 7,200 Litres per day or 2,628,000 litres per year, and it is cleaned and re-oxygenised constantly. What sort of scientific mind organised all that?  Well the same incredible mind that arranged all that, also designed and programmed the Dinosaurs, Lizards, Platypus, and Fowls to be able to lay eggs that contain all the ingredients necessary to reproduce their kind. This same God made us. Why? Well it seems that it was so He would have a family to love and be loved by. Consequently, He made a world for us to enjoy with every imaginable item that we would require, including lovely things to eat and look at.

“But we are only here for a short time”. That is true, but it is beside the point: for example, my daughter grows these lilies which only flower for a couple of weeks each

year, but she feels that it is worthwhile to have their beauty even if it is short lived, and don’t forget, that If we love God in return for what He has done, and accept His forgiveness for wrong doing, He will take us to be in His family for ever in Heaven.  We don’t understand how most things work so don’t expect to understand God either, just trust Him, He loves you.

Now to answer the question that a man asked me recently: “Who made God?” My answer is that “nobody made God, He always was”. If your logic cannot handle that statement, then go back and look at all I have written here and explain it, (particularly about space being endless) and when your mind can grasp all that, you shouldn’t have any difficulty about believing God’s origin.  Best wishes with this tantalising and frightfully important subject.  Tom.
