A Volcanic Difference

One of my favorite theologians described the intervention of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection as “a volcanic disturbance in human existence.” A merciful and loving Redeemer dropped right into our evil, sinful world to save us! I’ve known people who upon repentance and baptism immediately experienced a dramatic change in their lifestyle. The change was obvious to all who knew them. They became totally different people. Others grew up in a Christian home and were taught God’s way from their youth. On their baptism the change in them, though maybe not as apparent to others, was just as powerful. When Jesus becomes the center of your world he makes a volcanic difference in your life and mine.
