2 Corinthians 4 & 5 New Life in Christ Jesus
The Apostle Paul writes that we have treasures in clay pots. Some days I think mine is cracked. But that is the point he is making. We have the most wonderful gift hidden in these most common of items. The Spirit of God resides within us. Why would God allow something so wonderful to be carried by such a common thing as you and me?
Paul also offers that if anyone is in Christ Jesus, they are a new creation. This is where I think my sermon will center. This idea of a new creation is just like something God would do. Take everything that is common and make it into something new, something amazing. To be a new creation is to let go of all our pain and worry and grasp a new reality, waiting for us like a bride awaiting the wedding march. Could God be that good? Could we be that unwilling? Could this be real?
Consider with me what our lives will be as we fully rest into Christ Jesus. Consider those who live in need and the impact the new creation will have on their lives. Reach out to Jesus and let God heal that cracked pot of a live. And when we do this, day by day, we all move just a little closer to home.
