“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; January 21, 2008

 

          On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King stood at the Lincoln Memorial and, inspired a movement by stating, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”  Dr. King did not live to see his vision come to fruition; but, this dream became the guiding principles by which he lived his life.

          Do we have a vision?  If we don’t dream, we are destined to be stuck in the status quo; but, by envisioning what is possible and setting our sights on noble things, we can be better and accomplish more.

          Thousands of years ago, a disciple of Jesus related his vision of a new heaven and a new earth by seeing a place where God “… shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain …” (Revelation 21:4).  Do we share this vision of what Christianity can become?  If so, it’s guiding principles will raise our behavior and calm our fears.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
