The most complex object scientists have ever found in the Universe is here in this room today. That object is an electronic recorder which is the “three pounds of the most complex and highly organized matter in the universe!” That recorder is of course within each of our heads this morning. Just think with your mind about your brain, it is most impressive and extremely complex.
It contains many times more nerve lines than all the telephone lines of the world put together.
It receives the electrical signals from 200,000 living thermometer cells,
It receives the electrical signals from a half-million pressure-sensing cells,
It receives the electrical signals from 3 or 4 million pain-sensing cells.
Plus the signals from the eyes, ears, nose, and taste buds.
An amazing example of miniaturization, the brain sorts, stores, and acts upon these myriad impulses. Who but God could ever build this fantastic of a “computer”?
Now for just a moment consider that the total number of synaptic connections. These measure the amount of information that can be captured and stored. These memory bytes in our brains rival the number of stars in the Universe. Our brains pack these little electric switches into our heads at the rate of 400 Billion per gram of brain cells.
You have this morning in your head 1,500 grams of brain cells more or less. That means you have nearly 6 Octillion (that is a six with 15 zeros after it) little memory units; which is about as many stars as we know are out there in the sky.
In a universe of 50 billion galaxies, each comprising a half-trillion stars, God has placed the equivalent number of little spaces to record every word, every thought and every deed we who bear His image as humans, will ever live out in our lifetime. And they are indelibly written across the blurry fabric that blends our physical lives to our spiritual lives, and yes, they will last forever and ever and ever!
WHAT FOR?
Now what would God be keeping all this information for, does He have something planned? Listen to an interesting moment the Apostle John reveals. In his vision of the great white throne judgment John saw “the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. … And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:12, 15).
God has set up a time for each individual who has ever lived to have the contents of their books opened. It may well be that God just plays out all they have ever experienced in a surround sound holographic recreation. A kind of Candid Camera, This was your life with the recorder being this 3-pound wonder atop our bodies that never missed a beat of our life.
When the record books are scanned, no good deeds will be found in the entire life of unbelievers; and when the book of life is scanned, their names will not be found. The books that report deeds and the book that reports faith will alike testify against them.
