Jot Or Tittle

Maria Fedorovna, the empress of Russia and wife of Czar Alexander III, was known for her philanthropy. She once saved a prisoner from exile in Siberia by transposing a single comma in a warrant signed by Alexander. The czar had written: “Pardon impossible, to be sent to Siberia.” After Maria’s intervention, the note read: “Pardon, impossible to be sent to Siberia.” The prisoner was eventually released.

Little things can make a big difference when placed in the correct spot. Does God consider that? Glad you asked.

Matthew 5:18

 For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Jots and tittles have to do with letters and pen strokes in Hebrew writing. They are small but necessary.

You might be a jot or a tittle, but you could make all the difference in the world in which you live.

Give it some thought.
