Christ Changed History<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we consider Christ’s death, burial and resurrection, we recognize that Christ and Christianity are the foundation of our lives. Jesus Christ is our hope, our Savior, the author of liberty, and much more. The Apostle Paul summed it up in\u00a0I Corinthians 15:3-4: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again according to the scriptures.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The influence of Christ in our world truly cannot be measured. From a historical perspective, He is the focus of all of history. The Mighty Works of God<\/em> <\/a>series for children presents it this way.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cChrist\u2019s coming to earth is the most important event of all history. All events, before and after Christ, point to his coming.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen God created man, He created him without sin. However, man chose to disobey God and man became a sinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod provided a way for sins to be forgiven. That forgiveness could only come through the shedding of blood. \u2018Without shedding of blood is no remission.\u2019 Hebrews 9:22b.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Old Testament promised there would be a Saviour, the Messiah. The people who lived before Christ could only be redeemed as they believed in the promise of the Savior. The law which was given to Moses included many ceremonies and sacrifices. All of the ceremonies and sacrifices foretold Christ\u2019s coming and death on the cross.<\/p>\n

\u201cHundreds of years before Christ\u2019s birth, the prophet Isaiah wrote about Christ\u2019s death and man\u2019s need of a Savior. \u2018But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.\u2019 Isaiah 53:5-6.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach man, woman, boy, or girl who believes in Jesus can have his sins forgiven. This salvation gives eternal life. \u2018He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.\u2019 John 3: 36.<\/p>\n

\u201cChrist came to fulfill all the promises God had given in the Old Testament. He was the sacrifice for all sins. With Christ\u2019s death, His shedding of blood, man could come to God through Christ. The ceremonies and sacrifices of the Old Testament law were fulfilled. Since Christ\u2019s death and resurrection, the sacrifices and ceremonies that were given in the Old Testament are no longer required.\u201d (Ruth Smith,<\/a> The Mighty Works of God: Divine Providence)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Truly the coming of Christ changed history. If we consider the work of Christ, changing the hearts of men, we will recognize the significance of self government and liberty. It is the foundation on which individuals, families, and nations can discover the manifold blessings of Christ and Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
