A new school year. Newly sharpened pencils with full erasers. A full box of sharpened crayons; Crayola of course! New backpacks, school shoes, shirts and jeans. New classes and new teachers. The beginning of the school year is always exciting even for those who like school the least. There's just something amazing about a "new" start.
Life in Christ is the same. When we first meet him we are so excited at the new freedom we have in his grace. We are thankful for his mercies and and delight in his extravagant love. It's a fresh start! In his love, grace, and mercy we are made new. Jesus offers us forgiveness with no reminders of the past. He sees deep into our soul to who God created us to be and washes away the sin and shame through his blood on the cross. We are made new.
Today, as school begins, let's celebrate our new beginning! Scripture tells us his mercies are new every morning... so, here we go again, a fresh start!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17
