[Discoveries] 01-26-08 No ordinary child-- Hebrews 11:23

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*... they saw he was no ordinary child ... -- Hebrews 11:23*/

The verse speaks of Moses, of his parents' daring defiance of the king's 
edict that all the baby boys are to be drowned, of their certainty that 
he was cut out for greatness.

I remember holding each of my newborn children, unable to grasp how it 
was that we were given the privilege of creating and caring for 
something so precious as this human life. I remember holding their hands 
as they took their first uncertain steps. I watched them play, without 
their knowing it, and drank in all over again the wonder of discovery, 
what it is to be a child when everything is new.

I read this verse and I want to say, "There are no ordinary children."

And I think that is true. Jesus didn't die for ordinary children. He 
looked at each of us and saw something far beyond the ordinary. He saw 
joy. He endured the cross and went seeking the one that was lost. The 
ninety-nine don't replace the one. Jesus seeks the one.

You are that one. You are the one Jesus seeks. The ninety-nine will 
never replace you in His heart.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
