“How does one become a butterfly?” she asked pensively.
“You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
Hope For the Flowers
Looking at a caterpillar on a plant it is hard to imagine that it will soon be a butterfly. How does a being that resembles something closer to a worm become something that floats through the air?
Our journey of faith is one that carries with it many changes. It would be far easier to stay the same, to continue to crawl, but what if we are willing to take the chance to create that place where change can happen? What if we have the faith to then emerge from our own cocoons?
This week we will hear about Lazarus, the person who Jesus raised from the dead and his waking, rolling away the stone and unwrapping what will be. I hope that you can join us as we continue our series “Emerge: A Metamorphosis Moment.”
Peace,
Matthew
