History

JESUS’ HISTORY

There was a Man who dwelt in the East centuries ago and now I cannot look at a sheep or a sparrow, a lily or a cornfield, a raven or a sunset, a vineyard or a mountain without thinking of Him. -Chesterton

John 3:17,-18 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

I believe it was C.S. Lewis who said, “Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or He is Lord.” However, how you view Him doesn’t change who He is, it will change you and where you are going though! When it changes you, it will change your thought process just like it did the man that made the quote about. When it changed me, my whole life changed! I am by not means the man I ought to be but praise God I’m not the man I use to be either! That’s all due to what I read, heard preached, and understood about Jesus’ history. It’s all because He change me when I repented of my sins and trusted Him as my Lord and Saviour.

How do you view Him this morning? Was He just a good man that did some good things that has impacted people for generations? Was He a lunatic that was out of His mind, fooling people for centuries? Or, is He Lord and Saviour of your life? Friend, your eternity hinges on how you see Him right now! I pray the decision you make will be one that I can rejoice in with you—forever!

A HISTORY WORTH REMEMBERING

The hinge of history is on the door of a Bethlehem stable. –Sockman

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Isaiah 46:9

            It’s good for us to take a minute or two to remember what our Saviour has done for us. His Creation, His Cross, His Cure, His Coming Again, none of it ever gets old. We may grow complacent and apathetic but if we stop and remember what all He has done for us, it won’t be long before we have a spark of revival in our heart. It won’t be long before we are asking for forgiveness. It won’t be long until we are singing His praises!

            Where are you at with the Lord? Have you forgotten the things He has done for you? Take a moment to think on the things worth remembering!
