It happens during every national disaster.

Whether it is the dot-com crash, 9/11, the Great Recession, or COVID-19, we hear the triune promise that we will:

1. Rebuild our homes and our lives
2. Revive the economy and our nation
3. Rebound bigger and better than before

These emotions imply that while we may be down for now, we are going back up to the highest possible (best) position very soon. 

I humbly disagree.

While we will recover, God willing, the best thing for us happened centuries before we were born. 

It happened around 2,000 years ago when Jesus died for our sins and was raised to give anyone who believes a passport to eternal life. 

Anything else – whether it happened before our time, transpires during our lives, or will occur after we are gone – pales in comparison to what happened on the Cross.

Jim Collins can help take us from ‘good to great’. However, only the other JC (Jesus Christ) can help take us to the best!
