—2 Corinthians 5:16-21
by: Paula Davis.
It is difficult to comprehend how a beautiful butterfly can come from a worm-like caterpillar. Oh, caterpillars are not all ugly, but they are confined to crawl around and limited to surroundings that are very common. Remarkably, when that caterpillar sheds its skin to reveal its chrysalis and goes through metamorphosis, it emerges as a new creature—a beautiful butterfly, free to spread its wings and leave the common behind. We experience a similar transformation when we accept Christ’s reconciliation. We are new creations in Him, becoming the righteousness of God.
