Cloth

Scripture Passage: Luke 5:36-39

If we have a piece of cloth, we can sew a patch on a torn or worn out garment. This does not make a new garment out of it.  It is still the same old one. We may try to patch up our lives by trying harder to live the right way. But we will still be the same person we were before. Soon we will fail to keep God's laws. What we need is a whole new life in Jesus Christ. Paul tells us that Christ will make each of us into a new person if we accept His salvation.  We will be born again as children of God.

Questions:
1. Can we make a new garment by patching an old one?
No, it is still the same old one.
2. Can we make ourselves into new persons by trying to do right?
No, only Jesus can make us into new persons.
3. If we accept Jesus as our Saviour, what will He do for us?
He will give us a new birth.


Memory verse: 2 Corinthians. 5:17
What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun! (NLT)
