The Cross in Our Bodies

This is a pretty neat story (FROM A DOCTOR) and an interesting thing that few of us know.

A DVD sermon by Louie Giglio...
He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is...
How He spoke the universe into being...
How He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls of fire.. Etc.
Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. This fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know. I was remembering how I was constantly amazed during Sunday School as I learned more and more about God's handiwork. I remember so many times thinking..'How can ANYONE deny that our Creator did all of this???'
Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart...how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.
Then he started talking about laminin. I did not know about laminin.. Here is how Wikipedia describes them: 'Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue' You see.... Laminins are what hold us together... LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart.
I didn't know what they LOOKED LIKE..
But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since! Here is what the structure of laminin looks like...
AND THIS IS NOT a 'Christian portrayal' of it.... If you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see....


Amazing.

Who can doubt that

God is the creator!!!

The glue that holds us together..ALL of us...are in the shape of the cross.

Colossians 1:15-1
'He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible And invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or Authorities; All things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER.'
Colossians 1:15-17

Thousands of years before the world knew anything about laminin,

Paul penned those words. And now we see that from a very LITERAL standpoint,we are held together One cell to another.... By the cross.



PS. Notice anything similar to the "Medical Symbol"??
