“This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” Exodus 12:2
The Passover changed Israel’s calendar by orders from God. What God does affects the measure of everything. Our calendar reflects the birth of Jesus Christ and His death. B.C. expressing before Christ and A.D., anno Domini, the year of our Lord signifying His death, burial, and resurrection. He made an indelible mark for all humanity. Even those who despise Him or deny Him cannot ignore Him. Eternity invaded time through the coming of our Lord and time would never be the same. God became one of us to completely identify with us, then to die for us. As vast as the universes are and heaven is, He chose this planet and chose us to be with Him forever! When we remember the day of our conversion we recall our new birthday. Life began anew for we became a new specifies of humanity enabled to give expression to the love of God with a will to please Him. Life may be the same around us, but for us who are being saved, we have a new beginning!
