If you’re an X-File fanatic, you know The Truth Is Out There. If you follow newspaper stories or TV shows on Aliens, you’ve heard of others’ encounters with those from beyond the galaxies. From abductees to people who’ve visited spacecrafts or other planets, to those who claim to have engaged in physical contact with odd-headed beings, the numbers of those believing that aliens exist amongst us have increased in the past few decades. Actor Dan Akroyd starred in a funny movie; My Step-Mother is an Alien. An alien took on human form to experience life…sounds like God coming to earth in human form disguised as a child. Hmm.
If you closely examine old-world paintings from the 1400s, like The Madonna, you’ll notice small spacecrafts in the distance, or blimp-like objects that seem to show alien participation in daily, or special events. Actually, I think they were angelic beings present in the affairs of men.
Needless to say, the world is obsessed with alien life. I think that belief will soon play a significant role in the biggest event the world has known. But, aliens aside, let’s see why scripture says we’re not alone. Just before Jesus’s death, resurrection, and ascension, He told His disciples, “It is expedient that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement:” (John 16:7, 8).
We are not alone because God the Father is omnipresent-Everywhere at all times. Jesus is seated at the righthand of God interceding for us (Romans 8:34).
The Holy Spirit, also known as the Comforter, is everywhere working in the hearts of men to draw them closer to the Father.
In the end, we’re not alone, not because of aliens, but because of God’s presence and His heavenly host.
God bless,
