There's no meaningful distinction between "you" and a subset of 
"universe" in current physical thought.

There's also no need to restrict news of the Christian Gospel to 
post-crucifixion time in religious thought; Christ not only shares in 
the eternal quality of Gd, but was personally present at the Creation 
and it was only His mortal incarnation for the benefit of the earth that 
  began in Bethlehem. The Scriptures is silent on whether there are any 
extraterrestrial sinners in need of salvation; if their existence can be 
reconciled, so can other appearances of Christ, and they would no more 
violate relativity than the Hubble expansion does.
