CHANGING THE WORLD
“All noble endeavors succeed eventually even when at first they fail”.
This is a statement by a man who died pursuing just such an
endeavor. Setting out to change the
world or change ideas for the better begins slowly and more often than not is
met with increasing violence as the idea begins to gain traction. Every time an Apostle or disciple of Christ
was put to death, those in authority believed that would put an end to the rise
of Christianity. Many who witnessed those deaths were demoralized and yet
Christianity survived. A person who
follows Jesus Christ finds an inner peace that can’t be explained and yet can
never be abandoned. People for centuries
have gone to their deaths rather than give up or deny that peace. People are doing it today 20 centuries after
His earthly life because He still remains with us. It can’t be explained it can only be
felt. I was going to say it’s a lot like
love but of course, it is love. The
unexplainable, the inexpressible, all pervading glow that makes living
bearable. Love of and from Christ,
unlike human love, never fades. He never tires of you, never looks around for
someone to replace you but is steadfast even when you stray from Him. Once you have it no power on earth is strong
enough to take it away. The noble
endeavor to bring Christ to the world will succeed as we who live it share it.
With love, Carol
