A Moment in Time

“And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” John 1:5

At the right moment in time, Jesus Christ came to earth.

However, the Bible says, “the world did not know Him” John 1:10. Even though the Jews had the words of the prophets and the testimony of Moses, they still didn’t recognize the Savior.

They maintained that Messiah would come to save them from the insubordination of pagan worship and the bondage of Roman rule. He would usher in the kingdom of God on earth, thus reestablishing the twelve tribes of Israel to prominence and power.

But Christ did not come to set the record straight by dealing forcefully with the Romans or pagan Gentiles. His coming was one of identification - to bring God’s truth and presence to a sin-torn society.

There is a moment in time when eternal decisions are made. Have you personally met the Messiah - Jesus Christ, the Son of God?

Jewish leaders of Jesus’ day knew His name, but they did not know Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Their pride had blinded them to the truth of God’s redemptive plan. Ask the Lord to give you spiritual eyes as you review your relationship with Him. Do you recognize Him for who He is?
