There is a phrase “you are as old as you feel”!
But I find myself thinking what does that mean? Some of us may be young but struggling with aches and pains, the impact of this could well make us feel resentful because “isn’t it just old people who experience such problems?!
I have recently had another birthday and our family feel this is a good reason for a get together and enjoy some cake – happy memories can be made on these occasions and what a blessing this is!
The Lord Jesus only lived until he was 33 (how young to die?) but an example of what can be achieved in a few years has been shown to all who read the Bible. In the Old Testament there are prophecies about how and where Jesus would be born, in
Isaiah ch 6 v 14, and that he would be a ruler in Micah ch 5 v 2.
Matthew’s gospel tells us that “He will save His people from their sins”
One of the most well known passages is John ch 3 v 16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”
By reading the gospels we can find out how much work Jesus crammed into just 3 years – are you willing to try and follow in his footsteps?
