It was a bright night. The millions of stars that
brilliantly shone in the sky added more brightness to that night. The white
clouds that resembled wool moved along the sky as the moon chased them. Yuen’s
wondering eyes wandered into the sky. She stood motionless gazing at the stars
in amazement and wonder as if she was seeing the stars for the first time. The
sight of the dazzling stars kept her spell bound. What a beautiful sight! What
a wonderful sight! She said.
“Do you know there is a Creator who created all this.” Yuen
heard a still small voice speaking from within. Immediately, she bowed her head
in adoration and worship of that Creator who created the stars.
Yuen was a young Chinese girl who lived in a small hamlet in
Hong Kong. One day she travelled by bus to a nearby town. But her little mind
was occupied with the thought of the ‘Creator of the stars.’ During the
journey, a young born again Christian girl happened to sit next to her. In the
conversation that took place between them, Yuen heard who the ‘Creator of the
stars’ was for the first time in her life.
Yuen was awestruck when she heard that “the Lord Jesus
Christ is the Eternal Word and that all things were created by Him and without
Him was not anything made that was made.” Christ was introduced to her as the
God of creation who brought the sun, moon and the stars and the vast expanse of
the universe into existence. From the lofty angels in heaven above, to the
meanest worms in the earth beneath were created by Him. Nothing was created
without the Lord Jesus Christ. And “He is able to number the stars; and calls
them by their names.”
From the Holy Bible Yuen learnt that Redemption of sinful
mankind is the crowning work of God. Adam was the first man whom God created in
His own image. When he was created, he was in a state of moral purity. But when
he disobeyed the commandment of God, his moral purity was marred; sin entered
into the world and death by sin. Thus death passed on to all men.
But the loving God has made a provision for us all to escape
from the jaws of eternal death. As by one man’s disobedience, many were made
sinners, by the obedience of One, Jesus Christ, many shall be made righteous.
Through His death on the cross for the sin of mankind, Jesus became the author
of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him.
Yuen trusted in this wonderful way of Salvation and was
saved. She continued to fellowship in a local Church in a village in the
outskirts of Hong Kong.
My dear friends, trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved, right now
wherever you are. Behold now is the time of God’s favour and now is the time of
salvation!
