Each of us has a trail of sin and destruction behind us, counting down to eternal separation (BC—Before Christ). But at the perfect time, Jesus stepped in, interrupting our ruin with His redemption and changing our time for all of time. From that moment, our lives began to count up toward heaven (AD—The Year of our Lord). In Christ, our past is redeemed, our present is transformed, and our future is secure. Some of our failures may still echo on earth, but praise the Lord that in heaven, there is no record of our sins—only the testimony of His grace. "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
