The New Creation
"On 11 March 1830, a ten-year-old girl in England began
her daily studies with her tutor. Her lesson for the day was the succession
to the royal throne; as she studied the genealogical charts, she discovered
for the first time that she was the next heir to that throne!
Victoria's first response was to weep. Then she dried her tears and said,
"I will be good." Victoria inherited the throne seven years later, and she
lived up to her promise because she knew
what she was and acted accordingly.
What we know ourselves to be helps us to behave the way we're
supposed to behave. That's why there are so many pictures of
the Christian in the Bible: God wants us to be what we already
are in Jesus Christ - children in God's family, salt and light, sheep,
branches in a vine, builders, seeds, runners soldiers, members of
the body, stones, ambassadors, pilgrims, priests, debtors,
and even 'a new creation.' What a picture gallery!"
