A New Creation


These past few months I have been reminded again and again of how important it is to remember that we are new creations in Christ! The old is gone and the new has come! I was reading 2 Peter 1 this morning and was reminded of the following illustration. “Before his transformation into a butterfly, the caterpillar spends all his time crawling slowing along. When he comes out of his cocoon what happens if he doesn’t discover that he has wings? He will continue to inch along thinking he is still a caterpillar. The fact is, he is a butterfly and has at his disposal the capability of soaring to new heights. What used to take hours to cover a certain distance could now take seconds, if only he knew that he is a butterfly!”
