History

Did you realize that Christ is near? He is. You just have to whisper His name. Did you know we are called Christians by our love and that love comes from Christ Himself? Did you also know that before we were called Christians we were called ‘The People of the Book”?

While you read the Book you will notice that Christ is mentioned right from the start of Genesis. Yes, He is there. Not only is He there but all through the Old and New Testament. The more you read the more you will see Him in the all of history. I have sometimes mentioned if you take the word history apart you get; His Story.

Here is the beauty of all of this. If you are a Christ Follower, you are part of His Story. That’s right. We are His representative to the world. How well are you doing with that? A number of years ago I was at the computer and decided to go on YouTube and listen to a lot of Christian music while working in the office. After a while I realized that the words of those songs stopped me from doing what I was trying to do. And that was for good reason. I was getting caught up in the words of those songs because the person who wrote the song, knew Jesus and wanted to share when Christ showed up in his life. Here is the one that brought this on: "We've a story to tell to the nations". Go to YouTube and listen to the words.

So, if Christ is near, and we are part of His Story, and we get into the Book, we will, like those who have come and gone before us, tell our story as it relates to Him and us. We don’t have to write songs, we just have to tell others how Christ in His Love has helped me through life. What story of yours in Christ needs to be shared?
