Transformed

Saturday February 25th Mark 2: 11"Get up. Pick up your stretcher and go home." 12And the man did it--got up, grabbed his stretcher, and walked out, with everyone there watching him. They rubbed their eyes, incredulous--and then praised God, saying, "We've never seen anything like this!" The man was transformed. The crowd was transformed. Even Jesus’ ministry was transformed. Jesus is also looking for our lives to be transformed. Transformed into the living, breathing word of God for the world. Transformed into the bringers of peace and the lovers of God and one another. Transformed into those who, through the love of Christ, transform the world around us. And the people praised God and went out into the world, transformed.
