One of my favorite mentors used to say something like, "It’s time to get born again, again!" There is something powerful about that idea. The idea that we can choose to turn our lives around, to surrender once again to the Lordship of Jesus in our lives, to make a commitment and a decision to once again, follow him.
This is a good time of year to think about these things, with Easter just around the corner. Jesus made the ultimate surrender when he laid his life down. His resurrection can be a sign of the power and hope that can come when we "give it all up."
I like Eugene Peterson’s take on a portion of the message to the church at Laodicea as found in Revelation 3:19:
"The people I love, I call to account—prod and correct and guide so that they’ll live at their best. Up on your feet, then! About face! Run after God!
About face! Yeah, just another way of saying, Repent! Spring is just around the corner. Resurrection is just a repentance away. I think I’ll give it a go and be born again, again!
