Numbers & names are contained in Him.

Written by  Monday, 10 March 2014 00:00

My daughter (6) asked, “Does a number end?” Her elder sister was quick to reply, “Numbers never end.” “Numbers end in God,” I stepped in. She seemed satisfied with both propositions. True, numbers are infinite or boundless. When we run out of terms representing values we add three zeroes & name the phenomenon. What fascinates more is the actual countable reality that can’t be audited by human capacity. Stars, as big as they are, are never counted in full. Both the Bible & science attest to this fact. Abram was asked if he could do so. Still the answer sheet is blank. But God “calls them each by name” (Isa 40:26). Numbers & names are contained in Him. NA, in Christ.
