in flaming fire


"The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ"  (2 Thessalonians 1:7)

the place of repentance




Yesterday, I wrote about the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly, and how that process in Nature is a metaphor for the reality of spiritual regeneration, in the life of those who receive Christ and, thus, they are "born again": they become a "new creature" in Christ.

I alluded to the cocoon as being a kind of death-chamber for the caterpillar.  Indeed, it is.  This morning, I saw repentance in a new light, which I need to go back and relate that to the caterpillar and its cocoon.
