One Man Can Make a Difference

Jesus Did.

I saw this on a bumper sticker and almost laughed. I love the fact that this person was promoting Christ- I think they were anyway, however, to try to compare the Son of God to a mere mortal- that is laughable. When I look at the vastness of his creativity, the depths of his mercy and his love- I am overwhelmed. To be one man and make a difference- yes, that is possible- but once again, to compare yourself to the savior who saved the world from total damnation, the same man who at the age of 12 was teaching the priests, the same man that walked on water, cast out demons, raised people from the dead, heal the sick, the blind... well, I don't want to compare myself to that. I will try to make a difference, but I don't think that I could die for a bunch of sinners that wanted nothing to do with me. Nope, I don't want to compare myself to Him. I want to be like him, I want to reach out and help the hurting the lost, the weary, the widowed, the orphaned- but I sure don't want to be beaten and nailed to a cross.

I thank God for his Son- this person who came to the Earth and lowered himself to my level, humbled himself, and then died for me.
