Lesson 11 – New Life in the Spring

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

With spring comes the birthing season on the farm. Chicks hatch, and baby goats, sheep, horses, and calves are born. I have served as a midwife to many of God’s creatures—staying up late on baby watch, assisting with difficult births, and performing neonatal checks to enfgsure each newborn is healthy and strong. With every birth comes that precious cuteness overload and the joy of watching little ones learn how to navigate the world around them.

In much the same way, new Christians are given new life. The old is washed away, sins are forgiven, and a new life in Christ begins—one that must learn how to walk, grow, and live for Him. The moment of birth is exciting: new life! And new life in Christ is the greatest choice we can make. Congratulations to those who have chosen this life—life with Christ.
