Changes… transitions… release of the old to make room for God’s new thing

 

As leaders we are walking through a unique moment holding

all the dimensions of Jesus’ journey – from ordinary ministry through the cross and resurrection, transition and ascension, and an outpouring of God’s new life into the world.  What is my invitation to walk my path as a participation in Jesus’ journey? What intersections are there between his Seasons and mine today?

The seasons

Cana

Life is good, things are progressing, my problems are fixable

Good Friday

Calamity, the death of something precious, the burial of the seed

Easter Sunday

God offering new life for my changed situation

The 40 Days

Ascension

Releasing the old, letting it “ascend” with Jesus
