"METAMORPHOSIS"

Metamorphosis is the result of a transformation or change!
One of the most common is the transformation of a larva of a caterpillar
that wraps up its web around itself forming a cocoon and waits a period
of time until its wings develop and comes out as a butterfly.
C’mon, all these just to tell me something I learned at 5th grade?
Hold it! Hold it right there my friend! Now I am going to tell you about
The most amazing Metamorphosis that man had ever witnessed!
What is that?
It was the transformation, the change, the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ,
From man to God! Listen:
“Jesus took Peter, James and John his brother and brought them up into a
high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them; his face did shine
as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light.” Mathew 17:1
He proved them He was God! How wonderful isn’t it?
Another Metamorphosis or transformation is of the person that begins
reading the Bible, starts wrapping up themselves in its knowledge and
Truths and little by little begins learning about God and understanding
how much God really loves us, learns to love Him and to obey Him,
until one good day, falls before Christ and ask Him for salvation.
Then,we come out from our cocoon ready to love God and to serve people!
Do we need to read the Bible in order to have this transformation?
Very good question my friend! The Bible is a Book of Love, Faith and
Truth, and if you think you master them all, you don't have to read it,
otherwise, I don't know what you are waiting for! The answer is no!
You don't have to read it to be saved! Just to believe! Listen:
“And if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your
Heart that God had raised him from the dead you will be saved, because
with our hearts we believe for justice and with the mouth confession is
made for salvation.” Romans 10:9
How long does it take the process of this transformation?
Depends of us! It could take a split second or it could take forever!
God makes the transformation but we supply the ingredients:
A sincere Love, a Faith without doubts, a Truth without lies!
But, nobody is like that!
Yes I know, that is why we have to be honest with God and confess Him
our sins, He will forgive us! And save us!
Just imaging to see the caterpillars get themselves in their cocoon, without patience un sincere, without faith, without love, just looking for their own convenience, and tired of waiting for their "wings" that never developed, they walk out of it and go back to the world as before, as a mere worm.
Wait a minute! Don’t leave! Turn around and get back in it! I assure you!
If this time you really mean it, it will work! PRAISE THE LORD!
