BIBLE MEDITATION: “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
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: In our backyard, we have a number of trees. Sometimes during autumn, you'll notice there are certain trees that hold their leaves until spring. Their leaves whither and turn brown, but they don’t drop. Not until spring, do these trees lose their leaves when the new leaves push out the old leaves. That is exactly what happens to our old habits and our old lives when we find the Lord Jesus. The new life pushes that old life off. It is not a matter of plucking off this leaf and knocking off that leaf. The Christian life is not forged in that manner. Our new life replaces our old life when we are born again.
