A friend once told me, “In my lifetime I’ve seen a lot of things change, and I’ve been against them all!” Perhaps he overstated the point, but many of us would agree that we don’t like change—especially if it involves altering our habits and attitudes.
That’s one reason Jesus was so unpopular among the Pharisees. He challenged their long-established system of good works and self-righteous living. Consider the incident when the town “sinner” entered the home of the town “saint” in Luke 7. Simon the Pharisee wasn’t impressed with the woman’s lavish display of affection for Jesus. Reading Simon’s self-righteous thoughts, Jesus immediately challenged his flawed perception of his own goodness by telling the story of two debtors—one who owed much to his master and one who owed less. “Which of them will love him more?” Jesus asked (v.42). Obviously, the one who had been forgiven more. Speaking to Simon’s I-feel-pretty-good-about-myself attitude, Jesus said, “to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little” (v.47).
The challenge is clear. Lulled into thinking how good we are, our love for Jesus wanes because we have forgotten that we too are among the ones “forgiven much.” And when that happens, ready or not, it’s time for a change!

I was sent there to Boca Chica field during the Cuban Crisis back in the day when JFK was president.
There were so many Marine, Air Force and Navy fighter and attack aircraft diagonaly parked on both sides of the runway there wasn’t room left to pitch a shelter half.
There were A4’s, F8-U’s F-106’s, and F-4’s and a little bit of everything else. The F-106’s needed every inch of the runway to take off but the F-4’s, which were fairly new back then, were a sight to behold doing double burner take-offs and going wheels up halfway down the crowded field.
Ammo and munitions were piled all over the place and evryone was sitting on GO!
For a short period of time that was probably the busiest airstrip in the world with operations running non-stop around the clock 24/7.
Evening, Kathy.
