Jesus Rocked This World

When we think of Jesus, we think - often - of a baby being rocked in a cradle…because that is what is normally done for a newborn baby. As I thought on this imagery, I thought about Mary and Joseph rocking Jesus back and forth in a small manger meant to hold hay. And then, I thought about Jesus being rocked in the arms of His heavenly Father Who knew His Son would be sacrificed for the sin of mankind. But then it occurred to me that while we think of a baby being rocked in a cradle, Jesus rocked the world in a different manner. His resurrection rocked the world with the possibility of salvation! He rocked the world with the power of redemption! Jesus rocked the world with the greatest love ever known to mankind…the possibility of being raised to a new identity in Christ.
