Highlights**** We have been
learning over the last few weeks why Jesus can be trusted as our Savior. Now, when we put our faith in Him as our
Savior – what comes next? We are told
in John 3:16 that if we believe in Jesus as our Savior we will have everlasting
life. But Jesus also claims that unless
one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God . The belief
is more than just accepting that Jesus is who He says He is – it is about
surrendering your life to Him. When we
truly put our faith in Him and understand to truly take to heart why Jesus gave
His life for us on the cross, that belief
is confessing our sin, turning our life to Him to let Him lead us and change
us. That is the being Born Again that Jesus is talking about
in John 3 where we were studying tonight.
Your Sparkie’s butterfly is just an example of that change. Caterpillars are a living being that changes
itself into a butterfly – it metamorphoses in the cocoon to become a
butterfly. It is still the same living
creature – it just looks different and acts different as a butterfly – it is
born again in a sense as new appearance.
That is just like us when we let Jesus change us – we are still the same
living creature, but when we are born again by our surrender and His changing
us – we are the same living creature, but we act different – and look different
to others when they see that change.
What a great time to make a change in your life, if you haven’t already
– be spiritually born again this spring season – when the physical world around
us is sprouting new life, so can you in Christ Jesus!
