Change Is Coming
The Philippine presidential elections of 2016 went to Rodrigo Duterte as the landslide winner after the smoke cleared. People bought into the promise of a coming change if Duterte should be installed into office. "Change is coming" is the banner slogan of the Duterte campaign.
Whatever change people are expecting would only be skin deep. A makeover at best. Real and genuine change comes from within. Moving to a different house with a new administrator may reform but it surely will not and cannot transform.
It may treat the symptoms but it can never address the cause. The fundamental problem does not lie primarily without. No, it lies deep within out of reach for any of us to deal with. What we see through our windows is a reflection of who we see on our mirrors. Before we seek to solve our country we must first find a solution to ourselves.
Change can only come through Christ and in Christ. He alone is able to reach down to the bottomless depths of the human heart and effect change from there---where it matters and solves the problem.
You want change? You want transformation? Come to Christ!
