Here's the thing. In every life there is a time in life when we look at what was in the past and what is in the future. It is a time when we are face to face with our prelude and our postlude. It is a decisive moment in life and we know it. It is handed to us but we have the chance to do something with it and what we do with it will determine the whole remainder of our lives.
We can think about those times when we determined that we should take a different job; a different approach; a different way of being to the people around us and the God we worship.
We can think of those pivotal times when we realize all that was in coming together with all that is about to be and who we were is merging into who we are becoming.
For Jesus, I submit to you, it wasn't the Last Supper; it wasn't the wedding at Cana; it wasn't the Palm Sunday journey; it wasn't when he was 12 in the Temple debating with the theologians. It happened when he decided to allow his cousin, John to baptize him. That was the time in his life when his past and his future merged; when it all came together for him.
When did it come together for you? When was your "mid-life crisis"?
