Fall is my favorite time of year, and one reason is because the leaves change color. When we see the leaves change to red, we can think of when Christ was on the cross shedding His red blood for us. When the leaves are all gone, we can think of that as Christ’s final breath. Yet, when the tree begins to grow buds in the spring and those buds burst out we can think of when Christ rose again on the third day in victory over death and hell. There are several other reasons why I love fall, but this one reasons stands out above the others. It is a great example of how we can truly see Christ in Creation. Paul wrote, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:20. God’s invisible qualities, and Christ’s death and resurrection which was very visible to around five hundred people, are seen in creation. We can look around us and see various things that reflect the glory of the Creator just as the moon reflects the light of the sun. God wants us to see Him in what He made, just as an artist often leaves a signature on a painting. God wants us to remember that He is always with us as we look around at all that He has made. He wants us to remember that He loves us like a Father, because He wants to be our Heavenly Father. He wants us to know that when we need shelter, we can run to the shadow of His wings. He wants us to see the beauty of His creation and think about the beautiful home that awaits us in heaven. God also wants us to share the good news about Christ and how to get to heaven with others, He has given us so many different illustrations to use. Somebody could write a book titled, “A thousand and One Ways to Tell Others About the One Way to Heaven”. God has provided us with all that we need, we just have to follow His lead and share Christ with others through our words and our actions. It will not always be easy, but God will help us to do it. God Bless!
