The Man who changed the timeline.

Thinking about all the ancient religions and all the gods that have come and gone, I know of only one who actually had such an impact that He changed the calendar, which separated the ancient from the new.  There was only one who caused the timeline to be separated because of Him.  There is no other that has done this.  He had such a profound impact on the lives of people in His time and it continues on to this day.

Imagine: born in a stable raised a carpenter’s son, had chores he had to do and probably assisted with the family business as he grew up.  Participated in all the family gatherings, played with other children, just a regular kid.  He went to church on the Sabbath with his family, celebrated the holidays, just a regular person.

Then one day he gets baptized by his cousin and is called to go preach to the people, give them the good news and He goes and does what he is called to do.  And what he preaches and teaches has changed the world.  It has changed it so much, that time has been separated into BC and AC (before Christ and after Christ).   There is no other that has done this, none who has made such a change in history as Christ.

So I don’t know what all the fuss is about with unbelievers not wanting to celebrate this awesome persons birthday, who brought us such good news, that died for us and is able to give us such joy and peace if we only do what He ask.  Although we ourselves make it difficult, it really is not if we only allow Him to live his life through us and trust in Him.

Read the bible for yourself, especially the New Testament (gospel of John is a good place to start) and read about what the things he did and the things he taught, you just might be surprised.
