Dear Friends,
What slogan might tempt you to visit a country?
Maybe the last one alarmed you more than interested you?
How about the motto ‘Expect the Unexpected!’?
Papua New Guinea used this catchphrase some years back. I commend their honesty! Unlike many countries, PNG delivered on its brand promise!
Inspired by their honesty, I suggest a phrase for 2023 – Expect the Unexpected!
Some uninvited, unexpected challenges that we might face:
First, be honest and acknowledge our challenging emotions, such as hurt, sadness, disappointment, anger, or shame.
Second, connect with the real Jesus of the Bible and ask for His help.
Third, a less common response is to thank God and see it as an opportunity to identify potential blind spots, such as harmful definitions of success or where our values are closer to middle-class values (MCV) than Jesus’ radical definition of success.
Fourth, redefine success according to Jesus.
Perhaps you realise worldly success’s subtle but powerful influence, despite your earnest desire to become like Jesus. We cannot redefine success according to Jesus on our own.
