Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
“Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange, changes, look out you rock and rollers”.
I wonder if you can name the singer!? Stay tuned to hear the song in a minute!
Well we’ve certainly all faced our share of changes over the last 18 months.
- We’ve changed our working practices, with many people working from home.
- We’ve changed our schooling, with many kids being taught at home, now returning to new teachers, new friendship groups, new subjects.
- We’ve changed our understanding of what we are and aren’t allowed to do again and again as rules on bubbles, masks and social distancing have changed so many times.
- At Christ Church Huntingdon, we’ve had to change how we do church. First onto youtube, then onto zoom, then to Inflatabounce and now to Stukeley Meadows Primary School with a youtube livestream.
It’s very reassuring that in a world that has faced so much change in the last 18 months, that there is one constant that doesn’t change. And that is the wonderful reality of Jesus Christ. The one whom God has put as the CEO of the universe. The ruler, the rescuer.
- His existence never changes, even when people stop believing in him.
- His goodness never changes. He never has a bad day or has to apologise.
- And his love never changes. He continues to offer complete forgiveness and a fresh start to all who turn to him.
But Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
As we enter a new term, can I encourage you to introduce a small change to your life. Why not start asking him for help. Call out to him for help, when you are worried, or stuck or fearful. Turn to him and pray!
Not to God in general (it could be any god), but Jesus in particular - allow him into your life and ask him for help. That could be a life changing change.
Come and let me know if it makes a difference.
