X Stands for Unknown by Brenda J. Wood



 

"And we believe and are sure that thou art

the Christ, the Son of the living God."

John 6:69 (KJV)

 

Do you remember the A-B-Cs of Christ? Strong’s Concordance supplied me with this version of what we have in Christ.

A - Adopted  |  B - Blessed  |  C - Conquering

D - Delivered  |  E - Established  |  F - Free  |  G - Graced

H - Healed  |  I - Inheritor  |  J - Justified  |  K - Known

L - Loved  |  M - Ministering  |  N - Named  |  O - Overcomer

P - Precious  |  Q - Quickened  |  R - Redeemed  |  S - Saved

T - Transformed  |  U - Upright  |  V - Valued  |  W - Wanted

X - ________  |  Y - Yielded  |  Z - Zealous

OOPS! There’s no X word in an English Bible, but in the Greek, it’s Χριστός  or Christos, meaning anointed, Messiah, an epithet of Jesus Christ. The dictionary says X stands for Christ as in Xn (Christian) and Xmas (Christmas). X also stands for the algebra unknowns we fought in math class. We may wish to have or be everything in this new alphabet version but without X, the Christ, it’s impossible.

Where is the X, the Christ, in our lives? Is He X, the unknown? X, the Christ, a shortcut to what we want? Or is He X, the crucified Christ, raised from the dead and our personal Saviour?

 
And X the Christ who leads our pen to paper and our heart to write?
