waiting...on the world to change

I think John Mayer has humanity pegged in identifying our inability to change the world on our own. You can be an armchair critic, a passionate and zealous advocate, or and indifferent clod. None of these will change the world.

The good news for the world is that we don't have to change the world because Christ already has! This is why we celebrate Christmas, because the light that causes darkness to hide has entered the world for the sake of the world.

Our challenge as those who have heard this news is one of faith: to believe this God-directed change is underway and that Christ is in charge, to identify where this brightening of the world is happening, and participate as we live into this changing of the world.

Such a life of faith ushers in peace and joy as we join in a conspiracy of change that gives life and hope to a waiting world.
