MORE THAN HISTORY

MORE THAN HISTORY

When  jesus spoke again to the people, he said,   “I am the light of the world.  whoever follows me  will never walk in darkness, but will have the light  of life."
John 8:12

 A man once said that eventually, ‘Jesus would be relegated to a footnote.’ It hasn’t happened, and it will never happen  ever. After  2000  years,  Jesus  Christ  stands  as  the  pivot  of  history,  split into  BC  and  AD.

Every  time  we write  the  date,  we  acknowledge Him.  People  have  opposed  Jesus  throughout  history  but  His truth  marches  on because He Himself lives on. Historical  figures  die,  are  buried  and  quickly  forgotten  and  some  become  footnotes  of  history.  But  Jesus,  though He  died,  was  raised  from  the  dead  on  the  third  day   and  today He  lives.

We  do  not  follow  only  a  historical  figure,  but  are  in relationship  with  the  living,  active  Christ  who  through  His Body,  the  Church,  is  still  making  His  presence  felt  in  the  world today,  and  still  transforming  lives.

His  invitation  remains  the same,  ‘ *Come  to  me’,  ‘abide  in  me’  and  ‘learn  of  me’.*  As  we  do  so, we experience His presence that gives to us the ‘light of life’ that keeps  us from walking in darkness and confusion.

Christianity is all about Jesus and if we get the person of Jesus wrong,  we’ll  get  everything  else  wrong about the Christian life.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please help  me  to  trust  Your  living  presence  in  me  today.
