Since the first day we have been on the earth, we have been changing. From our body shape to our thought patterns, the change never stops. Change is our living core. The Lord should have given us the ability to face change. Yet, our ability to resist change is more significant instead. Even though we know some better new ways to deal with our daily problems, we would rather choose the familiar old way to avoid looking awkward. Some teachers believe that interactive classrooms can engage students in learning, but they have been used to instruct directly for many years. They are reluctant to take the risk of trying a pedagogy that they have not mastered. Interestingly, the new method we discover on our own we use with pleasure and satisfaction. We may even share our happiness proactively. Perhaps we all love to initiate change, but not to be changed. Those who initiate change have a clear picture of what the change looks like, but those who have been changed can only follow with the full mind of question marks. Similarly, leaders lead community change. They know what the change looks like, but the rest of the community often follows with the full mind of question marks. Leaders may not lead to enhancement, but changes made by the Lord are bound to be blessings. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make your family into a great nation. – Genesis 46:3” Though there should be full of question marks, Jacob followed the change made by the Lord, and eventually became a nation.

人一出生就經歷改變，由體形到思維模式，改變從來沒有停止。換句話說，人面對改變應是家常便飯，人面對改變的能力也是與生俱來，可是人抗拒改變更像先天本能。有些日常生活問題，明知有更好的方法處理，卻寧願選擇個不好但已習慣的方法。作為老師，我們可能明明相信互動課堂能讓學生更投入學習，但已習慣直接講授多年而不願冒險試一個未能掌握的教學法；有趣的是，自己領悟出來的新方法就用得不亦樂乎，甚至主動分享經驗。或者實情是我們都樂意自主地改變，卻不願被改變。主動改變的人通常對改變後的模樣心中有數；被改變的人卻只能帶著問號跟著走。同樣道理，領袖的天職就是帶領組織改變。改變後的狀況領袖心中有數；但組織內的其他人員卻常常帶著問號跟著走。領袖帶領的改變未必帶來改善，但上帝帶領的改變必然是祝福。｢你下埃及去不要害怕，因為我必使你在那裡成為大族。－創世記46:3｣。這是上帝對雅各的指引。無論帶著幾多問號，雅各願意跟著走，最終成為大族。
