I sometimes wonder if Jesus looked into the night sky, through his all-too-human eyes, and whispered, “Oh, Abba! The stars are beautiful from here. Yes, they are good.”
I wonder if his heart stirred when he recalled what the psalmist said: “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” (Psalm 8:3-4, NIV) Imagine the fire, compassion and sheer love he felt as he may have thought, “If they could only understand what we are about to do, Father!”
I wonder.
