New Life in Christ
Same old, same old. Isn’t that the way we feel when there’s yet another family crisis or that old,
nagging self-doubt worms its way into our subconscious. It may be that we still hold onto a mantra
or a belief that, although it has brought us ‘well-earned respect’,
may even have left others with little or no love or respect.
If we are ‘in Christ’ then our new created self needs to be open to honest scrutiny.
St Paul recognized that Jesus’ life, death and resurrection brought about a seismic shift
in the conception of ‘being human’. Christianity is the tectonic plate which rides the social
and cultural movement of human society, drawing to itself the lost,
the outcast, the disempowered – those grateful to be renewed and loved.
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation:
everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
2 Corinthians 5:17
There is a great desire to make things ‘new’ in Ghana and members of Mothers’ Union
campaign for a safer and better world for women and girls with #endgbv and #endstigma.
May the gospel message of dignity and safety empowered our sisters in Ghana.
