Life Has Won!
Once again it seems that winter is
losing its grip on Anchorage. Each day the sun comes up earlier and stays up
later. Even though mornings can still be rather crisp, the day warms quickly
with the sunshine we are experiencing. Each day more and more birds return from
their vacation journey to warmer climates. Soon we will hear about the bears
waking up grouchy and hungry so it’s time for us to stop feeding the birds and
start being more careful with our trash. Before you know it, the grass will
need mowing and the flowers will be blooming. Springtime is a time of new life
in Anchorage.
It is also a time when we remember the
new life that God has created in us. Through the work of the Holy Spirit using
the Word, we have this new life in us. This new life changes everything, our
attitude, our fears, our wants, our hope, and our relationships. It all starts
with Jesus. St. Paul writes to Timothy, “This grace was given us in Christ
Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the
appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and brought life
and immortality to light through the gospel.” II Timothy 1:9b-10. Jesus won
this new life for us through his holy sinless life and his innocent suffering
and death. God raised him to life from the tomb to show us that his sacrifice
was acceptable and we are his own. Let the new life shine in everything you do.
