About this image
One red umbrella in a sea of black ones. Same rain, same street, same weather -- but one person made a different choice. Seen from above, the aerial view of a crowded rainy sidewalk becomes a visual sermon on Romans 12:2. The pattern of this world is the black umbrella: functional, conventional, invisible in its sameness. The red umbrella is the transformed mind -- visible, deliberate, beautiful in its refusal to disappear into the crowd. Paul's command in Romans 12:2 contains two actions: a negative ("do not conform") and a positive ("be transformed"). The Greek for "conform" is suschematizo -- to be pressed into the same schema, the same pattern, the same mold as everything around you. The world has a mold, and it presses hard. The Greek for "transformed" is metamorphoo -- from which we get "metamorphosis." It is the same word used to describe Christ's transfiguration on the mountain. This is not a surface change but a fundamental restructuring from the inside out. And the mechanism of this metamorphosis? "The renewing of your mind." Not your circumstances, not your behavior, not your willpower -- your mind. The way you think. The patterns by which you interpret reality. When the mind is renewed, the behavior follows naturally, the way a red umbrella naturally stands out in a field of black. Conformity requires no effort -- it is the default. Transformation requires the daily, deliberate renewal of thought. Free HD download for phone and desktop.
