Moments in Time

Read John 10:1-21

There are certain moments in time we all remember because these moments are etched in our memories. These memories seem like they'll always be there but there are times when for one reason or another we tend to miss some of the specifics as we recall these amazing moments.

Unless that is we dwell on these moments. Do you know what I mean? My lovely wife and I went to the movies the other day (for Valentines Day) and saw the movie - The Vow. It was what's come to be known as a chick-flick - and you know what I'm ok with that. It was a great movie with a great message of how we all have moments in time and we think we'll always remember but what happens if/when we don't?


We tend to have faith moments in time. Times when we remember first understanding the story and life of Jesus; times when we remember hearing about His grace and mercy and kindness and goodness and truth and love; times when we realize His moment in time, when He went to the cross was about absolute and pure love for you and for me.

But we have good forgetters. We forget because we fail to reflect on these faith moments in time; times when Jesus stood for us because He knew we could never stand alone but only on His power, passion and purpose.

Remember this week the power of Jesus' words - "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full". May our moments in time always be made by remembering this most important moment in time.
