I am a tainted portrait.
I am a weary prose.
I am a broken invention.
I am a decaying sculpture.
I am a fading image.
I am a waning symphony.
But,
“...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:17-21 ESV)
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4 ESV)

ReplyDeleteAs usual your post made me think deeply. When I consider what it means to become a new creation in Christ I am once again overwhelmed by God's love and grace in my life!
