Off With The Old...

Tadpoles are swimming in our pond. We’ve watched them grow and turn into frogs. These are just another batch of tadpoles we’ve found. Some tadpoles even have four legs already. It’s weird to see them become frogs. It is almost like they grow into completely different creatures.
When we are redeemed and washed of our sin, it is - as 2nd Corinthians 5:17 says - like we are different creatures. “Therefore, if anyone be in Christ he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come!” We no longer have the burden of shame and sin when Jesus wipes us clean. We can walk with hope, love, and joy!
These tadpoles will soon be frogs hopping all around. In fact, we’ll probably find a few of them in the pool!
“And He [Jesus Christ] died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.” - II Corinthians 5:15
