Episode 12: March 20 - Second Sunday in Lent

“In” but not “of.”

Remember that from

last Sunday?

In but not of:

that’s how we are to live

said Jesus.

In the midst of,

but not participating in.

We can’t help living

in the world.

This is where we live.

But we don’t have to be of the world.

We don’t have to be worldly.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but

be transformed by the renewing of your minds,

so that you may discern what is the will of God,

what is good and acceptable and perfect.”                 (Romans 12:2)

We are to be transformed

to be transforming

to be in the world as

      light

            and salt

                  and leaven.

In but not of.

Reshaping the world

in which we live

into the image

of Christ.
