Big Bird . . .Big God

.
This . . .
Here is a quote from some Fox news guy commenting on the Democratic presidential race:
"We know less about what we know than what we don't know".
.
That . . .

I was filling the birdfeeder that hangs on our back patio and our cat Jasper (better known as Bullwinkle or Jasperado) was watching me. With a smile on his big cat face and his eyes wide open, I could hear him thinking,
"Bird Bait!".

Another thought about the birds. Who fed the birds in the winter before people started feeding them? I guess they just all starved to death back then. I get the feeling that the same birds just keep coming back day after day, it's not like they take turns, or tell the other birds all about it, That's why many of them are so fat.
So one bird was talking to another bird, "Wow, you look like you have been eating really well.
Where are you finding this mother lode of seed?"
"Oh, I just scratch around here and there hoping to find a little something", the well fed bird replied.
"Yeah right," the first bird says,"you've been eating at the James house. That's why you're so fat you can't fly. That's why everyone yells, run for your lives - he's landing. That's why they call you waddle the honkin' Robin!"
.
This is That . . .
Admitted very bad segue from Big Bird to Big God.
.
God is not just big; He is huge, massive, preponderant, paramount, all powerful, all glorious, all mighty, all righteous, autonomous, and self sustaining. In summation “God is in the Heavens and whatever He pleases He does.”(Ps.115)
. . .
The glory of the gospel is that we now have access to a very, very big God. We now have the ability to know and love our God free from shame, and damnation. The cross was a means to a greater end; us. Jesus gladly took on the cross, and scorned its shame, for the joy (us being with Him) that was set before Him.
