From Proton To Ferrari

Ah Huat unconsciously scratched his head unceasingly and mumbled to himself wondering how a Proton car could be transformed into a Ferrari. "Is it possible?", he asked. "Okay I want to hear your theory how that is possible."

It all started when a Malaysian made Proton car which had undergone heavy modification drove up to park where we were sitting. We were waiting for our chicken rice to be served while seated on the five foot way in downtown Kuala Lumpur. I threw Ah Huat a silly question by asking him to identify the make of the Proton that drove up to us???

"Aiyah! Even the blind and dumb can recognize it's a Proton lah." he answered with a sense of pride because he was known among our circle of friends for not being 'bright'.

"Wah! You so intelligent ya!" I replied.

Modestly he answered, "No lah! Anyone also can see it's a Proton mah!"

I threw him the mother of all questions. It started him scratching his head trying to figure out the possibility of such a transformation before answering me. I asked him whether a Proton can be transformed into a Ferrari!

"Can meh!?", he asked looking at me with a 'Ya! I know I am dumb' look.

My Chief Mechanic convinced me that it is possible. I am only to put my absolute trust in him.

Every Sunday if I am to drive my Proton car to his workshop and trust him to replace a Proton part with a Ferrari part. Eureka! After hundreds of visits, I finally drove home a Ferrari.

Unbelievable? Impossible?

Jesus Christ told his disciple that with God everything is possible. From a son of man to the son of God? It is not a problem to God, the Creator of heaven and earth.

We can be going to Church every Sunday but if we don't submit ourselves to be transformed by our Saviour's teachings, then we are going home the same person after every attendance. Every one of us was once a son of man. But the proviso required for entry into the Kingdom of God is that you must be a son of God transformed by the Holy Spirit. We are to put our trust and hope in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the Messiah, the Saviour and Redeemer who went to the cross to redeem us from the wrath of the Father.

The Father is looking for the son in us; God is looking for the Jesus in us because Adam failed Him as a son. Adam was disobedient and Christ obedient.

We were born as Adam but we are to return as Christ.

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16
