b'Even if aliens existed, it wouldn\\u2019t matter.\\nGod, the Creator of the entire universe, took on the flesh and nature of a homo sapiens male. He retains this flesh and nature still today, even as He rules all things.\\nGod is one of us. Where does this leave any potential intelligent alien species? Certainly not at the center of attention. Jesus is the focus, along with His people whom He will live with forever (Revelation 21:1-5). He will reign from the earth, the home of our species. That is the message of the gospel, and aliens have no significant part in it.\\nThis way of thinking is foreign to modern people. We know space is vast beyond our comprehension and Earth is a tiny speck swimming in the universe. We are used to thinking of Earth as insignificant.\\nBut cosmic scale does not determine significance. Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things, the King of everything. His people on Earth are the center of His focus, His joy, and His love.\\n\\u2022 Have you ever thought about the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life? \\n\\u2022 How does Jesus\\u2019 incarnation (becoming human) affect the way we think about our species? \\n\\u2022 How does Christ\\u2019s love for us change the way we think about our place in the universe? \\nSo the Word [Jesus] became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father\\u2019s one and only Son. John 1:14 (NLT)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nJohn 1:1-14; Colossians 1:15-20'
