Volume 12, Number 38

Through One Man

Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life Romans 5:18. You do make a difference. Sometimes, as only one person, in such a large world, we feel insignificant and unimportant.. Maybe we even feel ignored. There may even come a time that we look and out lives and determine that we have accomplished nothing of value. Usually, such a determination is wrong. Think about it this way. No matter how large a family may be, when a new baby adds one more to the number, her or she has a large impact on the family. That baby may be the youngest, smallest, and the least helpful. That baby may do little more than eat, sleep, cry, and use diapers. Still, that baby has a dramatic and generally positive effect on every member of that family. Babies change lives. Every life makes a difference. For sure, there are going to be a few lives that are much more widely remembered than others. Still, there are not many faces on Mount Rushmore. We know that Jesus was unique, and that He changed the world. Most of us are not really trying to change the world, or even have a large effect on it. Our sights are generally set on a smaller circle. Still, it is the effort of one person. One person can make a difference as an influence for evil. Just remember Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin. One person can make a dramatic difference as an influence for good. Most of us have had some wonderful and positive influences in our lives. Still, there is probably someone quite special who we can attribute with being the one who had the powerful, shaping, and continuing influence for good in our lives. Be the one. Dont shy from it. Dont dismiss it. Dont think that it is too small. Though there is only one of you, be that one. Russ
