God is a comforting genius

Is God a genius or what? The names of all men listed in genealogies from Adam through Noah mean: “Man is appointed mortal sorrow but the blessed God shall come down teaching that his death shall bring the despairing comfort.” Edit: last night (Nov. 16), I researched each name from Seth to Lamech listed in 1 Chronicles 1:1-3, and it’s true. I skipped Adam and Noah, as I already knew the meanings of both names.

Goosebumps and chills down my spine. Jesus Christ stepped into my world and changed my life. He stepped down from heaven, gave himself for me and eternally comforted my soul.

The triune God’s ways are above ours. He works in ways we cannot see. He is mysterious, infinite, transcendent, holy, wise and unsearchable. How inscrutable his ways!

And this is just one of many hidden messages in the Bible. Who else could write such a book except an infinitely intelligent mind? Apologetics to the max.
