Many things offer us a "New and Improved" experience. My cereal this morning made that claim; I, however, would have preferred the old and plain. Their new recipe was not an improvement.
I think about this in comparison and contrast to the things of this world. Many things offer to make us better. The new and improved version of ourselves. Whether it be an exercise program or a college class, the world is offering an improvement to our current circumstance. Yes, these things may enrich our lives; nonetheless, only one thing can make us truly new and most definitely improved. That one thing is Christ. Christ's recipe for our life is to give us life and give it to the full. While the world's recipe may offer things of grandeur in the end they are only of death.
Like my cereal, claims of improvement can only be measured by experiencing them. I hope and pray that I experience Christ in some new way today.
