Spring’s Promise: The God of New Life
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Spring has a way of preaching its own quiet sermon.
After months of cold, gray skies and dormant fields, the earth begins to stir. Buds form on branches that looked lifeless just weeks before. Flowers push through hardened soil. The days grow longer. Light lingers. What once seemed barren begins to bloom.
Spring reminds us that new life often begins beneath the surface…long before we can see it.
In our own lives, there are seasons that feel like winter. Seasons of waiting. Seasons of grief. Seasons where growth seems stalled and prayers feel unanswered. But the message of spring is this: God is always at work, even in the hidden places. Roots deepen before blossoms appear. Seeds break open before stalks grow upward.
The resurrection of Jesus stands at the center of our faith as the ultimate declaration that “winter” does not win. Death does not have the final word. What looks finished is often just the beginning.
As we enter this new season, may we open our hearts to the fresh work God desires to do in us. May we trust that He is cultivating hope, restoring joy, and bringing renewal…sometimes in ways we least expect.
Step outside. Notice the colors. Feel the warmth of the sun. Let creation remind you: new life is not just a change in weather. It is a promise.
