Life-saver



"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" - 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

My husband recently became critically anaemic and had to have a blood transfusion. His condition improved - INSTANTLY!

A blood transfusion is a really amazing procedure which we take for granted. It is a life-saving event, made possible  by the generous gift from an anonymous donor, of his/her life giving blood. It set me thinking about how Christ shed His blood for us - how He shed his blood for our redemption and how that was a truly life-saving act which transforms the lives of those who receive it.

When we come to realise the enormity of Christ's death and resurrection, we enter a new relationship with God. As scripture teaches in Romans 12: 2 we are   "....transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Our lives are completely transformed - INSTANTLY !  We receive a transfusion like no other.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit into our lives to transfuse us with your love; To be our comforter, our Counsellor, enabling us to resist conforming to pattern of this world and giving us new life. Amen

We thank Cecily Froud for her lovely devotion this morning.
