This Changes Everything
Of the sixty-six books in the Bible, four and a bit are dedicated eyewitness accounts of the life of Jesus. Yet, the entire book beforehand prepares us for His coming, and the entirety of its remainder after those four books continues to spread the word of how He changed the world. His lifetime was, certainly by our standards, short. Yet, His significant influence remains across the world.
In His short years on this earth, Jesus changed everything. Life moved from the burden of law to the free gift of grace. A curtain was torn, a tomb was empty, and we know all about it because we have freely available access to eyewitness accounts of His life.
The Bible has always fascinated me. This incredible collection of historical documents, translated into over 700 languages, with the New Testament translated into significantly more. It’s belittled by some as a fairy tale; mocked as false teaching. Yet, lives continue to be fully transformed as people encounter Jesus through these available writings. For the history buffs among us, there are even writings beyond the Bible that speak of Jesus, a carpenter in a time where much of the written history of that era only gives us access to its leaders, inventions and natural disasters.
This book is so freely available to us that we are free to take advantage of it, ignore it and malign it.
All its power, however, comes from reading it, meditating on it and allowing it to do its transformational work as we experience the impact of this man Jesus.
