Born Again

            Legend has it that an obscure man had his death mistakenly noted in his local newspaper. The “deceased” hurriedly visited the editor to protest.

            The editor responded, “I’m awfully sorry, and it is too late to do much about it. The best thing I can offer for you is to put you in the 'Birth Column' in tomorrow’s paper, and give you a fresh start.”

            I think that is what God does for us:

3 Did you forget that all of us became part of Christ when we were baptized? We shared his death in our baptism. 4 When we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. So, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the wonderful power of the Father, we also can live a new life (Rom. 6:3-4.) NCV-Emphasis mine
