“Like New Again”

by Pastor Jon Haakana

“In His great mercy God has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade  — kept in heaven for you…” (1 Peter 1:3-4 NIV)


When someone has been sick or hurt and has recovered, they may say when asked about how they are, “I feel like new again.” I am feeling like that myself as I have recovered from a stroke and a bout with Covid-19.


We can certainly make that declaration spiritually. Because of Jesus we will be new again as we enter His kingdom some day. Our imperfect bodies get run down and wounded, but as Peter declared one day we will receive a new birth that cannot perish, spoil or fade. Thanks be to God!
