We Are All Important to God’s Plan

All Parts Are Necessary For The Designer’s Ultimate Purpose

Honda put out a remarkable commercial in the 2003 called “Cog.” You can see it here. In the ad, a team disassembled a Honda Accord and put the individual parts into a domino-like setup, all starting with one simple, small cog. The cog slowly rolls down a decline, which then sets the chain reaction going—using car parts such as tires and pistons, windshield wipers, coils, and other doodads that most of us never even knew existed!

This 120 seconds of masterful planning ends with the key fob being pushed to close the trunk of a fully assembled Accord, and the phrase “Isn’t it nice when things just work?”

There were many far simpler ways to close the trunk of the car. One person could’ve just pushed the key fob button. Done. But the point was not just to close the trunk: it was to get all the parts involved in a precise way. The big visible car parts and the small “what is that thing called?” parts were all necessary for the designer’s ultimate purpose.
