Title: Before the world began
What was more mind-boggling than the creation of the heavens and the earth, man and angels? It was the moment before the world began, when nothing yet existed.
We are now aware of the vast emptiness separating heavenly bodies; the travel of the universe through time; that nothing in the cosmos could travel faster than the speed of light, that outer space is warped. We were amazed. We were perplexed.
But come to imagine the absence of matter, time, and space, just at the threshold of creation. There was only the eternal. But where was the everlasting when there was no space?
Now we are no longer only amazed and perplexed. We are now also afraid, fearful of the Being who exists in Himself, whose Word spoke matter, time, and space into existence.
And this Being we worship, we call Immanuel.
