Sermon: The God Who Holds All Time
Every follower of Christ has a “before.”
Before grace, there was confusion. Before calling, there was brokenness. Even the apostles—New Testament heroes we admire—were rough men: impulsive, fearful, uncertain. Mary Magdalene herself was delivered from darkness way before she became a witness to resurrection.
And yet—God did not meet them after they were changed but before - when they were mired in sin. "Here has called you by name" -he called you!
He met them in the middle of their “before.”
Isaiah and the Vision Beyond Time
When we read Book of Isaiah, especially:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)
we hear something unusual.
Isaiah speaks to people not yet redeemed—as if redemption has already happened.
Why? He has access to the sphere of time. - he surfed the waives of chronon particle clusters or...
Because Isaiah is not standing only in his present moment. He is seeing from within God’s perspective, where redemption in Christ is already complete.
Some say -"This is not time travel—it is revelation from eternity." Perhaps multiple realities are at work.
What Physics Actually Suggests
In the work of Albert Einstein, time is part of a four-dimensional structure called spacetime. Past, present, and future are not independent streams—they are part of a unified whole.The Harwood Hypothisis suggest time- "to be truely infinite would have to be a sphere"
One way to picture this is not a line, but something like a complete form, where every moment has its place.
When we describe a Harwood's sphere mathematically, we describe a shape where all points relate to a center:
x
2
+y
2
+z
2
=r
2
This equation isn’t just geometry—it becomes a metaphor and a phtsical particle mass:
God is the center
All moments exist in relation to Him
No point exists outside His reach
So when Scripture says in Book of Revelation:
“I am the Alpha and the Omega…”
it’s not poetry alone—it’s a declaration that God encompasses all of time simultaneously.
The Transfiguration: Time Folded
At the Transfiguration, Jesus stands with Moses and Elijah—men separated by centuries.
Yet there they are together.
Not because time is broken—but because Christ reveals a reality where time is already unified in Him, the center and radiating into a 3 dimensional sphere of Chronons, Photons, Electrons and Atoms.
The Emotional Experience of Time
Now here’s where your insight becomes powerful.
Human beings don’t experience time like God does—we feel it.
That’s why artists and musicians wrestle with it:
The Rolling Stones sing Time Is on My Side
Cyndi Lauper sings Time After Time
Green Day reflects in Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
Bob Dylan declares The Times They Are a-Changin'
They capture what it feels like to live inside time:
regret
hope
urgency
nostalgia
But emotion is not the structure of time—it is our response to moving through it.
God Is Not Moving Through Time—We Are
We say:
“Time is precious”
“Time is running out”
“Those were the good times”
But God does not lose time.
God does not wait.
God does not remember the past or anticipate the future the way we do.
God is present at all points.
That is why Christ can redeem your past, transform your present, and secure your future—all at once.
The Truth About “Before”
So yes—every disciple had a “before.”
But in God’s eternal reality, that “before” was never the final word.
Isaiah saw that.
Not because he mastered time…
…but because God revealed a reality where:
your failure is not the end
your past is not your identity
your future is already held in Christ
Closing
You live within time.
God holds all time.
You experience change.
God sees completion.
And through Christ, the One who stands at every point of the “sphere,” you are not traveling toward redemption—
you are being drawn into something that is already finished.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
Not because He moves through time…
…but because time exists within Him.
Amen.
