Accept these deaths. Jesus calls us to let go of life in order to discover, in that series of deaths, a new finding of more full life. Even in the death that is caused by sin, Jesus calls upon us to reach down and gather up the pieces of our brokenness and to build a new life. As we look around us this April we see change, the death of winter and the emerging new life of spring. Conversion is happening with nature, and it should be happening with us.
Conversion means action and change.
Conversion is accomplished when the rubble of death is rescued and healed, recreated and fashioned into new life in a new world. Jesus took upon the cross of death, giving totally of himself that we right have life. In this month we are invited to be with Him so that we will not only just find, but truly share in His life.
