When you think about the things that have happened in the world, are you surprised about where humanity is today? So many things that were done and so many left undone; all the multitude of possibilites that could have shaped this world but didn't.
What would the world be like if it weren't for:
Otto and his design of the internal combustion engine
Tesla and his man-made lightning
The Wright brothers and their first successful flight on their airplane
The USA developing and testing the Nuclear Bomb before other nations
µP development by Texas Instruments
I know it seems like a truism to say "well IF this didn't happen then it would be like this today" or "IF that happened, this might not be", but it certainly is interesting to look back into our past and think about what to do in the present for the future. That is, Past, Present and Future only occurs once in all of human history, and events in our world - whether we can perceive it or not - are strongly linked.
A singer/songwriter says:
"Generations will reap what I sow, I can pass on a curse or a blessing, to those I will never know."
Who would have thought that Adam's one disobedience, seemingly small and insignificant, would cost the rest of the human race, that we would all live in the face of death and decay as result?
BUT similarly, who would've thought that Jesus' one action, seemingly small and insignificant, would change the whole human race, giving life, peace and restored relationship between God and neighbour?
Our actions henceforth cannot be counted too small or too big; we do not know the links in the chain leading to the Final Days; how can we? We do not even know what is in store for us in the next hour.
"Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away."
