Change! Are you like snail that withdraws back into its shell at the slightest whiff of it ? Or are you excited by the prospect?

Nationally we’ve had more changes in the last few years than it’s reasonable to expect. We might now be facing the prospect of separately ruled little states within the United Kingdom. We have re-defined the dictionary definition of marriage. We have the threat of the intended take-over of the world by the most violent group in living memory.

That’s change on one scale. Then there’s the advance of technology, which gives us almost miraculous breakthroughs in medical and computer science. What’s the latest device? Is it the pair of spectacles or the wrist watch? They both can respond to your own voice, send emails, take photos etc.

Happily, we haven’t quite got to the mind swopping abilities of a Dr.Who, but from Dr.Who Christians can identify with the idea of God being outside time.

I think that if the core facts of Christian belief were fictionalised in a Dr.Who episode, a lot of us would see that God’s plan for the world is absolutely mind-blowing ! Jesus, Son of God, came to take on all the ills of the world and bring back the possibility of man’s relationship with God.

And a plus for those of us who do believe. Whatever change this world throws at us, God’s relationship of love for us never changes .He knows the end from the beginning.
