This week has been paint-the-house-week. As I rolled a coat of paint on the wall I said to myself, "that looks new again." It's amazing how the paint hides the scuffs and scratches.
I like looking new but I love being new. When I received Jesus, He didn't just make me look new, He made me new. He didn't just cover over the scuffs and scratches of my life, He removed them completely!
"Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17; RSV)
How is it with you today? Are you living a life that looks new or are you New in Christ? I invite you to join the Jesus team. We are always looking for New members!
If you are not sure then why don't you make sure right now! Ask Jesus to make you New again!!
Father, You sent the One and Only to do what man could not do himself. Jesus made the way for everyone to become new again. Many have found the Way and He has made us new. Thank you Jesus! Now some may still be searching Lord. Help them to find their way to You. Help them to know and receive You. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

I love the words of our Lord recorded in The Revelation, chapter 21, I think it is, and I paraphrase from memory: "I am making all things NEW again..."
