Leaving it behind

Friends,

I have been reading of late a book called Cocoon, by Kim Davis. The book's premise is that we can learn many things from the transformational process that takes the unique life of a caterpillar into the amazing wonder that is the butterfly. There are important lessons for our walk with Christ in this transformation. The caterpillar has been provide everything it needs to become a butterfly, but it must surround itself by the protective cocoon and give up its old life of crawling in order to achieve flight.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18 [NKJV]

You and I are commanded to be conformed into the image of Christ Jesus. To cling to our old life is to refuse the gift of new life that Christ promises. It is no less than a raised fist of rebellion in the face our Lord.

Are you shedding that old life? Are you leaving the old man behind? Are you truly walking in the new life of the fully devoted follower of Jesus?

Embrace the New Life, brothers and sisters!

Be encouraged, Jose
