Fall and Glory

It's fall in New England and it's gorgeous! The weather is crisp and clear, the leaves are showing off their beautiful display of death. Yeah, strange as it is, their beauty is a result of their dying. Same for us as Christians..the only true beauty we have is a result of our dying to sin and receiving new life by the Spirit of God, bearing fruit for his glory! 1Peter2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness." What a miracle this is! I'm thankful for the reminder the beautiful, falling leaves give me of the ONE who died on a tree and rose again!
