Of Jesus Christ it is written, "There was a division because of Him." He divides man's destiny. All deserved Hell, but He has "brought life and immortality to light" and is "leading many sons to glory," Heaven instead of Hell. He has divided Time in the reckoning of many countries into B. C. and A. D. He divides the human race into two classes -- those "in Christ" and those "in Adam." When He was on earth there was a division among the Jews as to His person, His works and His words. On a mountain in the Rockies of Canada where there is a watershed, an arch has been erected, with the words plainly wrought on the rustic structure -- "The Great Divide." Drops of rain falling in the same shower separate there, some joining a stream that becomes a mighty river and flows to the Atlantic Ocean, others falling in the other direction into another stream that flows to join the Pacific Ocean. Though they fall in the same shower of rain, their destinies are hundreds of miles apart. So it is in families, classes in school, neighborhoods, and places of business. Christ is the Great Divide, and the destiny of men for glory or despair is determined by the attitude of the individual to Him.
