"Therefore,
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away;
behold, all things are become new." (II Corinthians 5:17)
When I was a child I would read about Clark Kent
who, seeing a desperate
situation
unfolding with some bad guys about to take over the world, would
step into a
telephone booth and become a totally different person. He was
no longer a
meek and mild character afraid of his shadow.
He was Superman.
Faster than
a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap
tall
buildings with a single bound. He even
had X-ray vision. Both
characters,
Clark Kent and Superman, were fictitious.
But, you and
I are real characters. We came into the
world as helpless
sinners in
need of a real change in our lives. We
fight against a real
enemy, the
devil, who is out to defeat us. We are
invited by Christ to come
and abide in
Him. We are told that "...if any
one is in Christ, he is a new
creature:
old things are passed away and all things are become new." (I
Corinthians
5:17) In Ephesians chapter six we are
told to put on the
whole armor
of God that we may fight against the wiles of the devil. Let
Christ Jesus
change you into a new person. Abide in Him.
