It seems to me that setting our clocks ahead tonight is a reminder of what Jesus does in the hearts of those who accept Him as their personal Savior.
At the very instant that we accept His as our Lord and Savior, we are transported forward to a completely new life in Him. A life in His eternal time zone.
The spiritual curse (but not the reality of living in a sin-cursed world) of Adam is removed. Gone. Covered by His great sacrifice on the cross.
Gone also are our personal sins. Our hearts are not reworked, or rebuilt, or remanufactured–we are re-born, completely new in His sight.
Among the miracles and mysteries of Salvation is why He would do that for us knowing that the free will he gave a failed Adam is alive and kicking in us. We continue to fail our admonition to “go and sin no more.”
But in His wisdom, while giving us Salvation–that instantaneous act of re-birth–it is also the beginning of a personal relationship with our Creator.
He has given us His Word as our guide, the indwelling Holy Spirit to direct and intercede between us and God the Father on our behalf, and prayer to seek His ongoing forgiveness and blessings as we serve Him.
So, as you set your clocks ahead and grumble about the system, take just a moment and thank God that He, in an act of pure love, set your clock ahead and took you out of the hell-bent rut of your time and transformed you to His eternal timeframe.
