Transitions

Revelation 4:1
TRANSITIONS!!
Think about the word and what it means. Transitions are not new in our lifetime but have been going on since the beginning of time. In a real sense, transitions indicate life. Where there is no transition or change, there is no life. In our lives, we transition from the baby bed to the big bed, from Preschool to elementary school, from single to married, and from being a couple to being a family. Each transition is a change and sometimes the change is huge. Not everyone likes change or transitions. In fact, some people fight change. It reminds me of the three types of people; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. In the 21st century, things are changing (transitioning) whether we like it or not. Some good and some bad.
Jesus came to transition us from how we were, how we used to live, and how far we were from God, into a person that walks with God. He takes the sin, darkness, ugliness, and ungodliness and transforms us. Think about it: Saul of Tarsus met Jesus and was transition (transformed) into Paul the Apostle. The 12 Disciples and the 120 in the Upper Room were afraid of their own shadow until Jesus sent the Helper, the teacher, the comforter, and the empowerer (might be a good word, but it's accurate). They were transitioned or transformed into Spiritual Mighty Men, an army for the gospel of Jesus.
The Bible was written from the heart of God by men who had touched God's heart to help mere mortal transition into the likeness of a loving and compassionate God. The coming of Jesus was 'God's transition' from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, from the sacrificing of animals to the Supreme Sacrifice, once and for all for sin, and thus from law to grace.
Today we read one verse, which I believe, serves as a huge transition.
