No matter how insignificant he may have been before, a man becomes significant the moment he has had an encounter with the Son of God. When the Lord lays His hand upon a man, that man ceases at once to be ordinary. He immediately becomes extraordinary, and his life takes on cosmic significance. The angels in heaven take notice of him and go forth to become his ministers (Hebrews 1:14). Though the man had before been only one of the faceless multitude, a mere cipher in the universe, an invisible dust grain blown across endless wastes\u2014now he gets a face and a name and a place in the scheme of meaningful things. Christ knows His own sheep \u201cby name.\u201d<\/p>\n
A young preacher introduced himself to the pastor of a great metropolitan church with the words, \u201cI am just the pastor of a small church upcountry.\u201d \u201cSon,\u201d replied the wise minister, \u201cthere are no small churches.\u201d And there are no unknown Christians, no insignificant sons of God. Each one signifies, each is a \u201csign\u201d drawing the attention of the Triune God day and night upon him. The faceless man has a face, the nameless man a name, when Jesus picks him out of the multitude and calls him to Himself.<\/p>\n
