We live in a world influenced by behaviors, lifestyles, and ideologies. What was Jesus doing? Changing lives. I have worked in an educational institution, and once, I was on an international trip with young people during the beginning of the pandemic. We experienced all kinds of emotions, and I was able to talk to them about God’s faithfulness in various circumstances. I also shared with them the code of ethics found in Psalm 15: to walk with integrity, do what is right, speak the truth, think about what you say, do not do harm to others, do not speak ill of your fellow men, watch your words, do good without wanting a reward, do not take bribes, do not associate with evil people, and honor those who serve God. This is not a miracle in the context of Jesus in His time, but it was a seed that could change lives. We need to be like Jesus – a transformer of lives.

Haggai taught me to be aware of the opportunities we have to bring people to Jesus through what we do in daily and professional life, and to be a reflection of God’s love.
