Laminin
Last night, at the end of my young adult group‘s Bible study, one of the members told everyone about an interesting video on GodTube. The video is an excerpt of Louie Giglio‘s message “How Great is Our God!” and it focuses on laminin, one of the proteins in the human body.
Here’s the video (8m 44s):
Colossians 1:17 says:
17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
So, all things are held together in Christ. According to the Wikipedia article on laminin, it is a cell adhesion protein molecule that, in essence, glues the parts of our bodies together. Christ and laminin, then, perform the same function of holding things together.
If it stopped there, it would be cool enough, but there’s more. Check out the following scientific diagram of laminin:
Not only does laminin hold things together like Christ, it actually looks like the cross upon which Christ died for our sins. How awesome is that!?

Tim,
This is a bit of a random question and only becease you blog came up as a result to a google search. My wife and I saw and excerpt of this video at churchand came home to google Laminin finding the whole video. When we were done watching it on our home computer, the diagram above was left as our desktop image replacing what was there. This didn’t happen at work and the few folks I sent it to did not have this happen.
Have you heard anything similar from folks with whom you’ve shared the video or who have gotten it from your blog?
Thanks and keep spreadsin’ the Word

@David – I haven’t heard of that happening to anyone and I hope it’s not caused by something on my site. If you ever figure out what the cause was, please let me know.
Thanks!
