Why are renovation TV shows so popular?
There seem to be a never ending stream of TV shows which makeover, not just houses, but restaurants, classic cars, and even bodies. We seem to love a good restoration project - of seeing something which was run down and broken to be rebuilt and transformed into something amazing.
This is part of why Jesus is good news, for he promises to renovate anyone who believes in him.
Jesus can take all our mistakes, brokenness, corruption and shame and transform us into something spectacular.
As 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, 'And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory’
So perhaps our own lives could be the ultimate renovation story?
