There has to be a Creator

Pastor Gerrit Mes; from the pulpit.

Is there really a God? Many people over the years have asked this same question.

If there is not a God and we are the product of time, matter and space, well, then nothing really matters. Right and wrong, good and evil are not important.

If there is a God, who is he? Why did he make us and what does he expect from us?

At a youth group years ago I faced this question from the kids, “Is there a God?” I chose a simple but effective response. I took off my wrist watch and placed it on a rock between the kids.

As they looked at the watch, I told them I was out during an electric storm. A bolt of lightning struck the rock, melt it and formed the watch. None of them believed my story. Their unanimous opinion was, “That’s impossible.”

Then I took a small rock and placed it on the big rock next to the watch. I explained that over hundreds of millions of years of weathering that the stone became a watch. Again their response was, “Impossible”.

Then I put one child on the rock next to the watch. I didn’t have to say a word.

They knew that it is impossible. There has to be a Creator.
