I'd love to hear one of your keynotes someday.<br /><br />As a faith-filled Org Change Guy, I have long been attuned to the messages about change that thread through the four Gospels. For example:<br /><br />- "Repent for the kingdom is near" - Repent (from the Greek metanoia) means to turn one's self around, to change one's mind<br /><br />- "He said to him, 'Follow me.'" - Conversion, from fisherman or tax collector, into apostle, can be quite dramatic, even astonishing to onlookers who can't quite figure out what has happened<br /><br />- "Go and sin no more" - Forgiveness is perhaps one of the most poignant forms of change in that, when we forgive, we are choosing to let go of some past pain that we have been dragging around with us<br /><br />- "With that their eyes were opened" - Whether one of His miraculous sight-giving cures, or in this case, the "aha moment" of the disciples walking the road to Emmaus, the Gospels contain moments of blazing awareness that signal decisive inner changes<br /><br />Indeed, one could say, without much exaggeration, that the Gospels are about change.<br /><br />TerryTerrence Seamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474689673406427999noreply@blogger.com
