It’s always good to gain perspective. It’s always healthy to step back and see things a little differently. Sometimes when you step back, your perspective is not only challenged but it’s changed completely. Paul reminds us today that when we come to faith in Jesus our perspective on the things of this world is radically altered. Do you need the things of this world? Yes. Do you have to live and work and have a family? Yes. But are those things the most important “thing” to a Christian? No. We see things differently through our faith in Jesus. Our perspective is completely changed when through baptism we are completely changed! That’s where we’re headed this weekend!
