A few years ago, my church gave each family a Christmas devotional mini-book called The Christmas Code by O.S. Hawkins.

It’s small but thought-provoking.

Let me share an excerpt that got me thinking:

“I love Rembrandt’s portrayal of the nativity. One great beam of light falls upon the baby Jesus so that all the other participants are somewhat shrouded in shadow. He wanted nothing to take away from the significance of Christ. Christmas is really about Christ. And, primarily, Christ alone. Not only is He the center of the nativity scene, He is the center of all of human history. His birth divided all of human history into “before” and “after” Christ.”

That caught my eye because every year I make a calendar for you (both printable and printed).

So when writing down a calendar year, we all know what B.C. and A.D. mean, but to be honest I haven’t really given them much thought.

Until now.

Until I just read that excerpt that said …

Jesus is the center of all human history!

That’s pretty amazing to think that even non-Christians follow the timeline of B.C./A.D. dating system (even though there is a movement to try to change the initials to B.C.E. and C.E).

But no matter the title or initials, the timeline is still the same – and it has Jesus as the center!

How cool is that?

Everyone recognizes the timeline with Jesus as the center.

Hebrews 3:1-2: So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He’s the centerpiece of everything we believe, faithful in everything God gave him to do. (MSG)

Another mini-book I was given is The Case For Christmas by Lee Strobel. I have read The Case For Christ and this little book is similar in feel.

If you have ever had doubts here and there about Jesus, I recommend any of Lee Strobel’s books. He is a former atheist who used his reporter skills to attempt to prove that Christianity was a farce.

Well, guess what he proved instead?

You’ll just have to read his books to find out. {grin}

I highly recommend both of these little books – and they make a thoughtful (and inexpensive) gift too!
