The best look into the past
Most of the significant events of history now live only in old books or in the ruins of ancient monuments. The political map of the world is constantly subject to change. The great conquests of past centuries typically did not establish permanent boundaries.

The same holds true for politics and science. Great ideological shifts come and go, and some hypotheses and theories once proposed are now refuted. However, the past holds a key event that remains anchored in our Western society: the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Through the daily date displayed on this calendar, we are constantly reminded of it. But why did He come into the world? “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” – and for that, His death was necessary (1 Timothy 1:15). He was born to die for us! Jesus sacrificed His perfect, sinless life for guilty people, so that they might be saved.

As wonderful as His birth and His death on the cross are, His resurrection three days after His burial is also remarkable. Many eyewitnesses confirmed that He arose. If He had not risen, there would be no evidence that God accepted His substitutionary sacrifice: For Jesus “was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised because of our justification” (Romans 4:25). All of this is now almost 2,000 years ago – and faith in it is the best look into the past that we can take!
