What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole.
1 Peter 1:3-5 MSG
A brand new life has to be unpacked. It is like receiving a wonderful Christmas gift and leaving it under the tree and never taking down the tree. It is not Christmas all year long and neither should we stay with the first experience. Salvation is daily and found in relationship with our God. Just as receiving a Christmas gift from the queen is not enough and quite rude if we fail to unwrap it.
Collectors of, let's say Leggo, dont always open the boxes and put the pieces together. Neither do all Christians. Both, sadly, are missing out. One of my greatest joy is watching, or helping, my grandsons construct their Leggo. Wow! Amazing things are created by the inventors of this product. I remember seeing a moving machine made from Leggo. The joy is in the unpacking and touching.
Get in and enjoy your Christianity! Amen!
