Turnaround Expert
When the fullness of the time
had come, God sent forth His Son, born
of a woman, born under the law.
—Galatians 4:
Members of The Turnaround
Management Association are rarely
asked to join successful companies.
Instead, these skilled professionals
are called into ailing businesses to
help get them back on their feet.
The same need for dramatic change
exists throughout society. People who
can reverse the downward spiral in an
individual's life, a relationship, or
a team are constantly in demand.
But what about changing the world?
Many people would say that only God
can do that. And that's exactly what
He sent His Son to do. The Bible
describes humanity's downward spiral
by saying that the entire world was
imprisoned by sin and "in bondage"
(Galatians 3:22; 4:3).
Into that hopeless situation Jesus
came "to redeem those who were under
the law, that we might receive the
adoption as sons" (4:5). The personal
turnaround for us begins when we
accept God's offer of eternal life in
Christ and receive His Spirit into our
hearts (v.6). Rather than simply being
given a new set of rules and sent off
on our own, we are adopted into God's
family.
Jesus Christ is the ultimate
turnaround expert. He specializes in
impossible cases. Will you invite Him
into your life today? —David McCasland
The Lord will turn your life
around
If you'll invite Him in;
Then you'll at once be heaven-bound,
No longer chained by sin. —Hess
When we choose to follow Jesus,
our whole life changes direction.
