Becoming

We ended yesterday with this thought: In mercy he brings us to helplessness that we might seek help. Any who would consider following Christ must understand before, or very early on, the enormity of such a commitment. We are being asked to set aside – sometimes for a season, sometimes for the rest of our lives – everything by which we define and project ourselves to the world. If we don’t understand that the Christian faith is meant to truly transform us into the very image of Jesus – that a genuine and a painful change is involved – we’ve not understood the message. There is an either/or abandonment that must take place. We’re taking a citizenship oath, as it were, to another kingdom. And this is a kingdom of light. We are being groomed as ambassadors of this realm. We speak a new lingua franca. We are to confound the nations of this earth and our next door neighbor with words of blessing. It is a mighty task and a high calling. And once we actually try to do it we fall flat on our faces! Cursing is easy. Blessing is an acquired taste.

The question before us then is this: Can I be the Christian I say I’ve become? What is important to realize is that our failures are a part of the process of the becoming. Each miscarriage becomes a teachable moment to help us realize that we’ve not the wherewithal or the necessary fuel to finish the task. We still get angry. We still mumble out curses. We still judge. We still condemn. We still flounder about in unforgiveness. And yet, the more we try and fail – and if all goes right – the frustration hardens into a determination. We get sick of ourselves, of all the stops and starts, and finally cry out for help. We discover that we cannot do this on our own steam. We were never meant to. That is the point. The presence of the one who said he would gladly help carry our burdens is ever by our side. Heaven is not shouting down commands and wishing us the best of luck. Heaven is right there, beside and within and calling us to the place where we embrace the words: “For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” ~Mathew 11:30
