WE ARE NOT JUST ANTS

Broadway play: Spider Man

Green Goblin has Spider Man in his grip as they fight atop the Chrysler Building in NYC. It is hundreds of feet to the ground. The Goblin says to Spider Man, "Look down there Spider Man. What do you see? Look at all those people. They look like ants. And they look exactly the same when you see them up close."

There are many who would say, "We are all just ants. Life is an accident without meaning or purpose. There is no God of love who made it all. We are all just a mass of organisms with no worth or importance."

But that is not the biblical picture. The Bible's view is the polar opposite. Our lives do have meaning, they are directed by a purpose and have eternal value because the beautiful God who created all things created us and loved us into existence.
