Time magazine came out with their 100 most significant people of all time and who do you think was number one? Jesus! That seals it, if Time said it, it must be true, and it is, not because Time said it, but because He is! Think about it. Here was a man who for the three years of His ministry was basically homeless, was never elected to or held any type of leadership office, was despised and defamed by both the political and religious leaders of His day until they finally brutally put Him to death, and He mostly hung around with what was considered the dregs of society. Yet a worldly, sophisticated, influential magazine calls Him the most significant figure in history! Guess they were listening when God said at His baptism, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,” and later when He reiterated those words on the Mt of Transfiguration and added, “Hear Him!” Thing of it is, it doesn’t matter what Time says, why is Jesus significant to you? Is He your Lord and Savior? Is He significant enough to you that you live your life obeying His commandments, loving and serving others, telling others about Him? You are either all in with Him or you’re not, there is no straddling the picket fence with Jesus! Before your straddling comes to a painful conclusion, get that other foot out of the world and start walking securely on His narrow path. It may be the most significant thing you ever do!
