It can be fun to watch sci-fi movies about time travel or films like Back to the Future, but the truth is, we cannot go back in time.

When Jesus walked the earth over 2000 years ago, he performed numerous miracles and died for us on the cross. Many of the miracles he performed were done intentionally without any fanfare. In fact, Jesus often wanted the miracles he performed to be kept secret. When he died on the cross, we all know that as the Son of God, he could have prevented it at any time, but he chose not to. Why? Because Jesus’ purpose was to demonstrate just enough here on earth to give us all a choice. Do we believe in him or not?
