Transform Today. Transform Eternity

I was born in a world at war. So were you.  We were born into dysfunctional families, broken communities, and warring countries. 

It was no different for Jesus.  His world was filled with political oppression, His immediate family was struggling and isolated, His very life was threatened from the moment of birth.  

It is so easy to let the brokenness of the world around us shake our faith in who God is and what He's doing.  Even if we aren't personally exposed to the brokenness, we are constantly reminded of it by the various news and social media. 

Remember that Jesus does not spare Himself from the creation that humanity has corrupted.  Jesus steps down into our earthly pain and violence and seeks to heal and cleanse us in the midst of our trauma. He stepped into human history 2,000 years ago. Even more, He steps into your world today, to heal you, to protect you, to direct you. 

Today.

Take hold of His power and join Him in transforming the day before you.  Let His kingdom come, let His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. In you. 

‘Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried, yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed.’         Isaiah 53:4-5
