Yesterday, we had a birthday party for my son; he’s two years old. His birthday was actually Wednesday, but we were trying to have the party at the park so we could invite friends. He’s still not too sure about how this birthday thing works, but he knows that he likes parties with cake and ice cream and presents. Later on, he’ll become more aware of the correlation between that specific day and the party and presents and the cake, but it will still only be a reflection and a celebration of the truth that happened so many years ago.
Our life in Jesus is much the same. The reality of the event, our salvation, has already occured and it merely awaits our becoming aware of it in order for the celebration to begin. Perhaps you hear some christians remark on a certain day for their “Christian Birthday” when they were saved. The truth is, our birthday already happened some 2000 years ago, and the parties begin to occur when we realize the truth of it.
Happy Birthday!
