Good morning!
What is more meaningful to you: God or nothingness?

Scripture Reading – 1 John 4:7–16:
Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in them, and they in God. (1 John 4:15)
Reflection on the Scripture:
Jesus Christ, the Triune God, gives us the answers to every question concerning the origin, the past, the present, and the future of creation. In Him, everything is revealed; nothing remains hidden. Through Him, life becomes understandable. It loses its apparent meaninglessness, the mystery of its origin, and the uncertainty of its final destiny. In Jesus Christ, God has united heaven and earth. What seemed lost has been saved, but what insists on being lost remains lost.
Why, then, do so many choose to remain lost? Creation is unimaginably vast—so immense that our minds can never fully comprehend it. We will never completely understand its laws or surpass its boundaries, not even after thousands of years of further human progress. Yet we presume to be masters of creation, to place ourselves above God, and to claim that nothingness is greater than God. The supposed power of nothingness impresses us more than the One who created all things. This is the language of the Antichrist. He diminishes God and elevates nothingness into a false deity that humanity is expected to worship and in which it is ultimately meant to perish.
But God does not abandon us. In His love for us, His children, He went so far as to offer His own Son—indeed, Himself—to save us. Whoever believes this with all their heart and lives according to that faith is already saved.
Let us pray
Lord, I profess my faith in You. I acknowledge my smallness within Your creation, yet I also know the greatness You have given me within Your plan for this world.
