How majestic is your name in all the earth.
—Psalm 8:9
Sir Christopher Wren designed and built the renowned St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. He is buried there, and the Latin epitaph on his tomb (translated into English) reads: “If you wish to see his monument, look around you.”
Both Old and New Testaments have words that imply, “If you wish to see God, look around you.”
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. . . . their voice goes out into all the earth” (Ps 19:1–4).
“What may be known about God is plain . . . For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made” (Rom 1:19–20).
The visible world makes known
the invisible God.
