Metamorphosis: “Process of Perfection”

  "What shall we say the Kingdom of God is like?" asked Jesus. "What parable shall we use to explain it? It is like this. A man takes a mustard seed, the smallest seed in the world, and plants it in the ground. After a while it grows up and becomes the biggest of all plants. It puts out such large   branches that the birds come and make their nests in its shade." (Mark 4:30-32)

The theme of Metamorphosis above is used by “TALENTA”, a Christian Student Group of Mercu Buana University of Yogyakarta with an expectation that the theme inspires students keep on their process in studying to gain their future. Vicky Tri Samekto from Stube HEMAT, deals this metamorphosis theme as a parable of mustard seed taken from Mark 4: 30-32. The Kingdom of God full of peace and safe should be inside of every believer and it should also be shared to others. It means that the impact of God Kingdom may be in all surroundings of believers, either community or society both in a small and larger scope. When a student are still studying, s/he wants to complete it as soon as possible, to get a job immediately and to gain success. All these steps require metamorphosis process, a process of life form changing.

Life process actually gives us opportunity to change, since a baby born up to the point of perfection. Yet, perfection cannot be clearly explained in detail, since everyone has different point of view about perfection. The main point is how everybody tries hard to gain its own perfection point as s/he has her/his own process of metamorphosis from one phase to other ones. The only expectation of the process is success and perfection to show out a life existency. Absolutely it is not easy to achieve as there must be obstacle in the process.

Process to reach renewable life is like an endless travel as it is so misterious that one should have a faith that one proses is able to change and to upgrade someone’s qualification. As a mustard seed in the parable of God Kingdom, one’s life should be able to show peace and  safe in each process although it begins from a small thing tobe a larger one.

The communion meeting held on Monday, September 23, 2013 was exciting as the students could share, express their thought and feeling, do worship and have unique games delivered by student leader and  Stenly Recky Bontinge from teamwork of Stube HEMAT, who introduced the organization services for the students. Finally, the thirty students from “TALENTA” communion, coming to the gathering were asked  to mingle with their surroundings in the community in which they live, because their surroundings would also contribute to their success.

Have a good process in this life travel by entering each metamorphosis phase. Jesus blesses you all. ***
