7 Billion People... How to Comprehend it

One of the blogs I like to read is Callies Dot Com. A few days ago he had a link to another web site that sought to make the complexity of 7 billion people on earth a little more easy to understand.

Here is the opening paragraph from that site:

"Earth’s population recently surpassed 7 billion people and that number is still growing. To comprehend the composition of our species 100people.org sought to help people, “better understand the complex issues facing our planet and the resources we share by framing the global population as 100 people”.

I think you will find the information presented there to be interesting. Click HERE to see it. According to their statistics, if the earth's population were reduced to 100 people; thirty-three of them would be Christians, twenty-two would be Muslims, Hindu's would be fourteen in number and there would be seven Buddhists. Twelve would practice other religions and twelve more would not be affiliated with any religion.

Do you wonder how the 33 are doing in sharing the good news of the Gospel with the other 67? It seems we should think about that. There are billions of people who need to hear that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). Jesus came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10). May we do the same.

A redeemed one out of 7 billion,
