Parents
have the privilege of observing their infant reach milestones when he or she begins
to sit alone, crawl, pull up, and take that unassisted first step. They will fall
down, collect bumps and bruises, but still there is great delight when observing
children make these advancements.
When an adolescent graduates from high
school or perhaps college and finds a job, parents rejoice and celebrate. How
about getting married and becoming a parent? Milestones are indicative of a
turning point from which there is no turning back. These high points indicate growth
and maturity as well as commitment to accept higher levels of responsibility.
Jesus
reached a significant milestone as he submitted to being baptized when he was
about thirty years old. No longer was he just a carpenter or the son of Mary
and Joseph. The Holy Spirit announced he was indeed the Son of God, whose objective
was to be the Messiah and Savior of all mankind. Milestones are indicators of
change and purpose, so be alert to choose God's purpose as you reach these
benchmarks.
