Death Has Lost Its Sting
Greetings from Every Square Inch!
Every year, as Winter fades and Spring arrives, I am reminded of the spiritual picture that God provides me with. With each spring I am reminded of this new life that I have in Christ. This partaking in the new creation with Christ is a beautiful picture. Today, if you are in Christ, you are a new creation! The old things have passed away. Behold! New things have come! (II Corinthians 5:17)
This is exciting news. The creation that God made and said was very good was made through and for Jesus. It is in this role as Creator that Jesus is able to recreate or bring restoration and reconciliation to the fallenness around us.
It is in Jesus that death, the fallenness around us, has truly lost its sting. Today we hail Christ as King of the new creation. Come live in us, Jesus, and allow us, through your power, to walk after you. We desire to partake in this ministry of reconciliation that you are about, even now!
As the snow melts and the trees begin to show their buds, may you be reminded of the winter that is ending. The frozen grip that death has on the world is melting away and new life has begun. We can be part of that new life if we choose by God's grace to follow Jesus. He will lead us to streams of living water and life everlasting.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Brian
