All new

Sunday June 18th, 2 Corinthians 5: We are careful not to judge people by what they seem to be, though we once judged Christ in that way. Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new. It’s not just a new set of clothes, or a new haircut, but it is a newness that comes from within, a newness that permeates through the very essence of our being. It is easy to get caught up in the judging game, to see others as we want to see them. What a blessing it would be to see others as God sees them, filled with potential, rather than the way the world sees them, filled with everything they have ever done wrong. Perhaps being made new means getting a new set of eyes for ourselves.
