Everything Changes

By this time on our Lenten journey, we often ask why. Why do I have to whatever I decided to do for Lent? Why do I have to change? Why? Why? Why? This week we are reminded that everything changes, except for Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. And in a world that is ever changing, Jesus is the anchor who holds, no matter what.

In our reading from John we are reminded that holding on to life just as it is destroys that life. But when we let go and are willing to change, and to follow Jesus, we find real and eternal life. In that context, change is not only good, change is great.

I invite you to cease resisting change and move to a place of celebrating the changes in your life. It's the only way to live because everything changes, whether we like it or not. And with Jesus as our anchor, we have no need to fear change. Join us Sunday and if you're willing, change where you sit this week. Give up your favorite seat, see the service from a new perspective, and meet some new people. The change just might do you good!
