Transformers? What does it have to do with God?
What can I learn from a bunch of robots?
They have nothing to do with my walk with God… right? Wrong.
We can learn something from these Transformers.
Transform. What does that mean?
- Change or alter in form, appearance or nature
- Change in outward structure
- Change from one form or medium into another
- Convert, one form of energy into another
- Given a completely different form or appearance
As it says in 1 John 3:2-3
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him because we shall see him as he is.
We should transform ourselves, to be a reflection of Jesus’ character.
Transformers, in their very nature, transform.
But what are they? What do they transform FROM and what do they transform TO?
They are all vehicles of transportation.
Just as WE, are vessels; that transport God’s love. The Transformers are empty vessels who’s purpose is to carry something from one place to another. Transformers are an alien race, not of this Earth.
Just as WE as christians, should not be of this Earth. Therefore we are the bridge. We transport God’s love and grace, to those that don’t know Him.
Romans 12:2 says:
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, ut be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
and Romans 12:4 says:
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ, we who are many, form one body and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts according to the grace given to us.
So, each transformer vehicle is different. There are cars, trucks, planes, boats, bikes, tanks, buses and others. yet they all transform, to be a part of the one army, to create the one army and fight the one fight, united, and strong.
They join together, with the one purpose, despite their differences. It is these very differences, that makes them strong. They each have a different function and come together to form one body.
So in Christ:
we must transform and not be of this world. We must be vessels that transport God’s love and grace, and no matter how different you are, God can and will use you to be a part of his army, his Body.
