The “Transformers”, a science fiction movie about giant
robots that are
able to transform themselves, was a huge box-office success
when it
opened in US theaters in July, 2007, grossing $155.4
million in its opening
week.
However we, as Christians, can lay claim to something
infinitely more
substantial. Our Transformer is not an alien, neither is he
a figment of sci-fi
imagination.
Our Transformer is a Man who had extraordinary powers; and
his name is
JESUS. He turned water into wine. He healed the sick,
enabled the blind to
see, ordered the lame to rise up and walk, and commanded
Satan to
“get thee behind me.” What’s more, he transformed the lives
of ordinary
people in order that they may lead extraordinary lives –
Simon Peter, Paul,
John, Mary Magdalene, Lazarus, Zaccheus, the Roman
centurion, and many
other characters we never knew about during Jesus’ earthly
sojourn.
He can transform your life and mine.
