A New Creation
A very good morning to you. I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 13th of August 2022, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
What a beautiful, beautiful Scripture - we are fresh and new, an entirely new creation! Without a doubt, the greatest of all miracles is new life! You know, I've seen many miracles in my life:
I've seen God open blind eyes;
I have seen deaf ears unstopped;
I have seen lame people walk;
I have seen addictions to drugs and alcohol broken in an instant;
I have even seen weather patterns change through prayers of faith;
I've seen barren wombs conceive and beautiful babies born, but without a doubt, the greatest miracle and the one that still brings me to tears of joy is when one sinner is born again. (John 3:3)
Supernaturally, an evil man, like Saul of Tarsus, in an instant becomes a saint. Paul the apostle, when he meets the Son of God, face to face, on the road to Damascus, surely the greatest miracle of all - you can read that in Acts 9. I can hear a mother, a wife crying out, “But my loved one is not interested.” Please continue to pray for that loved one. When a man or woman is born again, they have a fresh start. They are a new creation. I have evidence of this. The old life is gone. You know what brings me more joy than anything else is to receive a letter from a little girl with big handwriting, thanking Jesus for giving her a brand new daddy, when I get a letter from a wife saying, ”He's bringing home a paycheck at the end of the month now, and we have food to eat.”
Job said in Job 19:25:
“For I know that my Redeemer lives.”
When I see a turnaround like that, there is no doubt in my mind that we serve a mighty miracle-working God. Continue to pray for your loved one, and Jesus will turn him around.
Have a wonderful day.
God bless you and goodbye.
