An amazing universe points to an amazing god.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.

This is the point.

This April, scientists confirmed the dimensions of the Bernardinelli Bernstein Comet.

It's the single largest comet ever recorded, about 85 miles across.

It's a hundred times bigger than the typical comets we've been studying all these years,

as astronomer David Jewett.

Finding this is a reminder of how little we know about the outer solar system. There's a vast quantity of objects out there we haven't

seen, a huge number of things we haven't even imagined. Look, awe is a powerful and humbling thing.

As John Piper once observed, no one stands at the edge of the Grand Canyon and says, I'm awesome.

All points us outside of ourselves, and the whole drive to know the universe is in reality,

a drive to know God.

17th century astronomer Johannes Kepler, whose precise math led him to articulate the laws

of planetary motion once wrote, I wanted to become a theologian, and for a long time I was

unhappy.

Now behold, God is praised by my work even in astronomy.

Amen.

For the God who created everything, good science is more than good work.

It's worship.
