In Christ, we have Life with a Capital L. A giant L describes the Life with God. It is New Life, Eternal Life, a Life of Fullness in Christ. And for my Spanish readers (if I have any), it is Vida with a Capital V - Nueva Vida en Christo!
This week Sunday morning, our pastor read the following passage from the Gospel of John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:1-5)
The Life in Christ shines like a spotlight into the darkness.
Sunday evening, I preached at Lamont Christian Reformed Church. Lamont is a small town near the Grand River near Allendale, Michigan. The sermon text was II Corinthians 5:14-21.
II Corinthians 5:14-21
Hear this key verse from that passage of Scripture.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (II Corinth. 5:17)
God initiated the action. God is at work, making us new in Christ. Praise God!
Pray that God will bring Newness and Life with a Capital L to the inside members of New Life Prison Church.
