There are moments in life when an impasse occurs that requires a change in the way you think about and interpret the world around you. Old patterns of thought are replaced by new ones as our experience and knowledge base changes. Our assumptions about how life works requires a new perspective to challenge the underlying assumptions in our current and future realities.

These are often times best described as fundamental shifts. When John the Baptist came preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins: the words “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” called for a radical change of thought to occur in the collective consciousness of all those who heard it. (See Matt 3:2)

The call to repentance in this context meant to substantially change the basic principles, beliefs, and values in the way they viewed reality. Change the way you think! These types of transformative alterations enables us to see things differently. I want to see Jesus rightly!
