Christ in the cells of our body.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made, We are build to last. We are built to be image bearers. The choice is ours, God has already chosen. But at a microscopic level. God has stitched us together for a purpose. Have you ever heard of something called Laminin. Most likely not.

Laminin is a protein. A microscopic level protein, that is a cellular adhesion molecule. Kind of like rebar, concrete, steel things that hold every thing together. Your organs hold together, your skin stays together because of this protein called Laminin, that God has put into you and put into me and is what keeps us from falling apart. Here is a picture. (Click it to enlarge)



Sort of shaped like something we've seen before. If you look at a biology book it will describe its shape as a cross. That the cross is what holds you and I to God. The cross is what links you and I to God. The cross is what links you and I from this life into the next life. Colossians 1 puts it this way:

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: (by Christ, he created you, he created me) things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (You and I spiritually, physically, emotionally, eternally are held together by Jesus Christ. Even at a microscopic level. We are held together by something that looks like a cross.) 18And he is the head of the body, (Just like those 23 chromosomes from Mom and 23 from Dad knitted together in the image of God.that was stamped into them so you and I are built to last and we have eternity in our hearts and we are wondering what is out there. He is the head of the body from a microscopic level to the ultimate level.) and the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, (to bring together sinful man, judge the sin on the cross and link us together to God through the cross) whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. In our blood floats around little microscopic things that look like a cross. By Jesus' blood we can be linked to our heavenly father. The cross holds it all together. The road to heaven has been provided to us. God has already chosen. I pray that all that read this has or will too.

I want to thank Encourager514 for inspiring me to add this post. Bless you.

Hi Michael,

A number of years ago when I was studying to be a naturopath I used to sit in the anatomy and chemistry and plant chemistry and all these science classes and just marvel and how God has made us and the wonder of the human body....

AND you've used my favourite scripture because of the wonder and awesome might of our Creator.

Have you seen 'Indescribable' with L Giglio (can't remember his full name right now) - it's an amazing message where he uses the shots from deep space and the galaxies to preach about the awesomeness of God and way way way way out there is a cross...

This is great - thanks,

Kaye

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4
