A 30-year-old adult.

Many scholars believe that Christ started His 3-year ministry, around the age of 30. Why 30 years of age? What do the next three years look like for most adults?

Perhaps, this is a strange thought, but that’s what came to mind.  I just can’t help but wonder, why did God choose that age? Is there any significance in choosing those three years of Christ’s life to change the world?  Are these three years key to all ministry leaders?

Is turning 30 significant? I have thought about this from time to time as I meet people who are in their early thirties.

Living a Life of Legacy

As I continue reading through the book of Hebrews, I found myself concentrating on chapter eleven. My previous, abstract thoughts of a three-year legacy have been stretched slightly (to say the least).

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  This is what the ancients were commended for.”

Heb. 11:1-2

Following this statement, the author uses an array of Old Testament forefathers to show the commendable faith that was shown during their lives. Might I add, that most of these men and women had quite a few more years of service than three?

So, as I allow you to get personally involved with the space between my ears, I can not always promise logical thinking. However, I am certain that God has allowed our minds to travel to these places so that we question how we are living our lives.

Hebrews 11

If you desire some encouraging words on your legacy, try reading through Hebrews 11. Allow God to show you that being faithful is a long-standing, admirable character trait.

Whether you are in need or have plenty, remain faithful and consider the years you have to serve God.
