Blast from the past

On Contagious, we wrote letters to ourselves in our small groups reminding ourselves of what we learned, which one of the small group leaders took to post to us half-way through the year. I’d forgotten about this, until a letter arrived for me with the address written in my own handwriting. I opened it up, and realisation dawned…

Here, minus some personal stuff I wrote that’s just between me and me (and me and God, of course), is what I wrote. If the stuff about the guinea-pig seems random to you, it’s referring to a sermon illustration Pete Woodcock used!

Dear Me,

Don’t forget what you learned on Contagious about the Resurrection. You are in Christ, so be what you are. Following Jesus is not like asking a guinea pig to fly – you are a bird, not a guinea pig, so soar like an eagle for the Lord.

You are dead to sin and alive to God, so you have resurrection power to be free in Christ rather than a slave to sin!

God bless, and remember the resurrection.
Mine sincerely,
Caleb
