AN AMAZING FACT: Tucked inside the microscopic nucleus of
every cell in our bodies is a six-foot long strand of protein molecules,
called DNA. The information contained within makes it possible for each
parent to contribute one-and-a-half billion bits of genetic information
to each of their offspring!
The DNA itself resembles a long, narrow, spiral ladder of
pliable material. Before a cell is able to divide, the DNA must be
“duplicated” so that each cell will have an original copy of the genetic
code. As replication begins, an enzyme unwinds the spiral DNA ladder.
Next, a protein molecule holds the two strands apart while another
enzyme rapidly “transcribes” genetic code to RNA molecules. The code is
then “proofread” and instantly corrected if an error is found. All of
this happens in a matter of seconds! Finally, the RNA molecules exit the
nucleus to begin communicating the genetic code to new cells.
As the RNA molecule takes critical information from the DNA and communicates it to the body, so Christ took the message of His Father’s love from the “nucleus” of heaven and communicated it to our planet. “For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me” (John 17:8).
And now it is Christ’s desire that we do the work of the RNA! “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world” (John 17:18).
While we cannot help what genetic heritage we have been given from our parents, we can accept God’s offer to be our Father and choose to be “born again.” Let us bring joy to the Father’s heart today, replicating the peace of heaven, by letting Christ transcribe the genetic code of heaven into our hearts!
