Leo Tolstoy wrote: 'Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.' Or, there are no shortages of opinions about what is wrong with the world and others, only a shortage of energy and desire to change ourselves for good. Yet, change is happening whether we want to acknowledge that or not. And the 'default' setting is not good. > The way of change that finds itself in accord with God's intention for us lies in the truths found in Scripture. There is no other source of truth in a world that is fallen. Those that choose to remain ignorant of the truth (and it is a choice), find themselves in darkness, boasting of and relying in themselves. One writer put it this way: 'Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love truth.' Verse 21 of our passage informs is of the source of truth, '...just as truth is in Jesus.' > In another place, Jesus makes His own claim to be the sole source of truth; 'I am the way, and the Truth and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me' (Jn. 14:6). Simple yet provocative. We seek Christ as the single source for change according to the truth found in Him and we find Him in His living Word (Jn. 1:14; Heb. 4:12). > The Bible gives us the reason for change (the Father); the model for change (the Son); and the power for change (the Holy Spirit). This is lasting change in the right direction indeed.
