And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (John 17:3 ) I like something that Dr. Robert Schuller wrote in one of his books. He notes that Michelangelo attempted forty-four statues in his life, but he finished only fourteen. You may be familiar with some of them: David in Florence Square, the Pieta, and Moses, to mention a few of the best known. But the thirty he did not finish are interesting, too. ... a huge chunk of marble from which he sculpted only an elbow or a wrist. Another shows a leg, the thigh, the knee, the calf, the foot, even the toes. The rest of the body is locked in the chunk of marble. It will never come out. Could this be true for you? asks Dr. Schuller. Of all the tragedies in life, the greatest is for a person to live and die and never come out of himself or herself - never to realize the possibilities hidden within. I want to give you an invitation. I want to invite you to look into the eyes of Christ by faith. I want to invite you to see reflected there, the beauty you were intended to be. And then I want you to go forth today to live the dynamic Christ life. It doesnt matter who you are or what your background is, you can begin living the Christ life today. Dear God, help me to live my life today as Christ would. In Jesus name, Amen.
