TITLE : CHRIST`S CREATURE

TEXT:“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2
Corinthians 5:17(KJV)

Seventeen years ago a troubled 12-year-old boy broke into a classroom at his elementary school in a rural Northern
California town to steal $300 that classmates had saved for a field trip.

Recently, he returned to repay the debt and left a thoughtful apology which reads in part, "I have enclosed this money in restitution of what I have done in an attempt to make this matter right, amends for my wrong."

Says Principal James Berardi: "I hope it gives him what he wants, what he was seeking. I don't know if that was to lift a burden off him." Adds teacher Willow DeFranco: "It touched my heart."

The incident has become
a teaching moment at the school. Today, millions of hardened youths are being genuinely transformed through the gospel
of Christ. To be in Christ involves recognising your sinfulness; a resolve to dump every sin
and connect to Him by faith. No one experiences Christ and remains the same in life.

Challenge: The only proof of your salvation is the changed of life.

Prayer:Lord, I come to you today just as I am and surrender myself to you.
