The term Ex Nihilo is in latin, it explains the nature of God as the creator. The bible says that, 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth'. Just like God, we can also create, we are creative being...and that is good...However, when we create something, we would need other materials. Unlike us, God can create something out of nothing..... Actually, before anything exist, God already is.... just imagine that for a second,...it is like all the sudden our thoughts have gone blank.....the truth is no one can't conceive absolute nothingness....it is beyond our comprehension......
We must remember that God is still creating at the moment, maybe not to the extent like creating the heavens and the earth, but he is creating the new heaven and the new earth, through us....(that is another topic by itself)...at the same time, God is still creating something out of nothing....think of all the situations that we face in life...and sometimes we face situations, where we can't seem to find a solution for it, ...again it's like we are going blank,...sometimes if we just give it sometimes situations may improve by itself....but what if things just get worse?..and we still can't find any solutions.....I think, in those desperate moments what we need is a miracle.....a miracle from heaven...
The cross,...take for example the message of the cross. The cross was by no means intended for good. It was a punishment, a humiliation. It was a death penalty...yet when seek his body, we only found an empty tomb and Angels that say 'Why do you seek the living among the dead?' ......
.....It was a miracle...that someone who was dead, rose again...
Out of nothing, God can make something good...With Him, there is always hope...
