I’m living history every day. It’s history that I love to repeat over and over again because it never gets boring. It’s repeatable because it’s the history of a dead man who came back to life and lives forevermore. It’s the history (and present-day reality) of “a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive.” (Acts 25:19) Paul said that “God raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. (Acts 13:30-31)
The Bible book of Hebrews says that Jesus lives forever (Hebrews 7:25) and that He is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) For many years I’ve experienced those statements to be true. I’m continually living the history of Jesus that I read in the New Testament. I am daily experiencing Christ living and working in and around me (Colossians 1:27) the way that I read that He worked in the Bible.
Every day Jesus does amazing things in my life. He communicates with me. He shows me things. He guides me. He protects me. He comforts me. He encourages me. He empowers me. He corrects me. He provides for me. He does things for me and for other people that are logically impossible. He continually demonstrates to me that He is alive and actively working today like He did in the Bible. He keeps me living the history of what He did in the 1st century right here, right now, in the 21st century.
I love learning about the historical Jesus. I love even more following and interacting with the present-day Jesus. I love getting to know Him and learning to listen to and obey Him better and better.
