A
milestone for Jesus came at Gethsemane as he realized his hour had come. There
could be no turning back, no cowardice, even as suffering and death were immanent.
A milestone is a cross-over point from which turning back is not seen as a good
choice. The burning bush was a cross-over event for Moses, in both his personal
life and his relationship with God.
When an infant begins to walk, walking becomes preferential
except when crawling is necessary. Children experience several milestones – physically,
emotionally, and mentally – which are natural occurrences for each child. After
adolescence, adults continue to progress through different but predictable developmental
stages.
Jesus began his ministry at age thirty, which is a
major milestone for most people, as youthful looks begin to take on an older
look and a new stage of development is set in motion. The good news is,
maturity takes a step forward for most people. It pleases God to see his people
mature and become the individuals he intends to bless.
