John 6:69–And we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God (KJV)
Do you remember your A-B-C’s? You know, the traditional- A is for apple; B is for baby and so on. I wondered if there could be a Christian version. Strong’s Concordance supplied the following.
A-Adopted B-Blessed C-Conquering D-Delivered
E-Established F-Free G-Graced H-Healed
I-Inheritor J-Justified K-Known L-Loved M-Ministering
N-Named O-Over comer P-Precious Q-Quickened
R-Redeemed S-Saved T-Transformed U-Upright
V-Valued W-Wanted Y-Yielded
X- Z-Zealous
There’s no X word in an English Bible, but in the Greek, it’s Xpioros, or Christos, meaning anointed, Messiah, an epithet of Jesus Christ.
The Dictionary says X stands for Christ as in Xn (Christian) and Xmas (Christmas). X also stands for the algebra unknowns we fought in math class. We may wish to have or be everything in this new alphabet version but without X, the Christ, it’s impossible.
Where is the X, the Christ in our lives? Is He X, the unknown?
X, the Christ, a shortcut to what we want?
Or is He X, the crucified Christ, raised from the dead and our personal Saviour?
Prayer: Father, thanks for X, the known Christ! Amen.
