Christmas, the dividing point of life - my life.
When I switched on my computer this morning, Microsoft Windows flashed the date, implicitly acknowledging that, whatever you may believe about it, Christmas, The Birth of Jesus was so important that it split history into two parts.
Everything that has ever happened on this planet falls into a category of before Christ or after Christ.
What did He leave to grow?
Did He start men to thinking along fresh lines with a vigor that persisted after Him? By this test Jesus stands first. You can gauge the size of a ship that has passed out of sight by the huge wake it leaves behind.
I am drawn to Jesus, irresisstibly, because He positioned Himself as the dividing point of life - my life.
"I tell you, whoever acknowledges Me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God", He said in Matthew 10:32.
The uniqueness of Christ is threefold:
- His incarnation - God came to earth.
- His death,"the just One for the unjust" on the cross.
- His rising again to authenticate who He was and why He came.
According to Jesus, what I think about Him and how I respond will determine my destiny for all eternity (P. Y).
