The first decade of the 3rd millenium has passed in the blink of an eye. If it seemed to have gone quickly then you were there. I'm trying to fathom what it feels like to be 2,010 years removed from the time of Christ. Time has passed slowly since that time and a lot of world history has happened since then. Yet, I can't help but realize what a small number of years it has been in the scope of things.
Think about eternity. Don't try too hard, it will hurt your brain. Ten years ago it was 2000. Ten years before that 1990. Ten years before that I wasn't even born yet. But it wasn't that long ago! Christ was little over the mark of 3 decades when he died. How quickly it must have seemed to Him, His mother and now, in retrospect, to us.
Yet in the time that he was here, he accomplished all that he was supposed to and changed history forever. What can we do here and now, in our time, however long it might be, to change the world forever and leave it a better place? Leave it a little closer to what it's supposed to become?
