We have just celebrated the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. As Christians we have the hope that one day we will be raised from the dead like Jesus and will reign with Him.
God's desire for us is to be perfect as our Father is perfect [Matthew 5:48]
No one has ever achieved this status and if there is anyone who thinks s/he has there must be an element of delusion in that person. Paul the Apostle and the writer of most of the Epistles [letters] of the New Testament said that he has not achieved this [perfection] but he forgets the past and looking on to the future.
What I am learning now is to live a new live in Christ on daily basis so that everyday is a new day to try more to be perfect as our Lord Jesus is. Jesus Christ has died, has risen and lives forever more, the life we live now is not ours anymore but the life of Christ in God. So as an egg is a symbol of new life, let us take everyday as opportunity to live a new life in Christ Jesus and with the help of the Holy Spirit in us we will be getting closer to the goal that God has set for us.
