Transformation

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Some churches have started having “Harvest Parties” in October, where kids can dress up in costumes and have fun. But that’s not the only time people wear costumes to church.

Some people are selfish, angry, bitter, or lazy all week long, then they put on a “good Christian” mask before coming to church. But that costume doesn’t make them more like Jesus.

Imagine a little girl in a butterfly costume. It may be cute, but it doesn’t make her a butterfly. On the other hand, when a caterpillar wraps itself in a cocoon and emerges as a butterfly, real transformation has taken place. That’s what Christ offers us—real transformation.

Second Corinthians 3:18 says, “We . . . are being transformed into his likeness.”

Are you ready to be transformed? Take off your mask, confess your sin, and ask God to make you like Jesus.
