Making Crayons

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away ; behold , all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

My two sons asked for and received a Crayola crayon maker for this past Christmas. In precious spare time this evening we got it out and got busy making crayons. It is a very simple machine. You add broken crayons into a tray, they are melted, and then you pour them into a crayon mold. After a few moments you have brand new crayons. What a picture we can see in this of what God does for us. He takes broken pieces of our sin shattered lives, applies the blood of Christ, and makes us into new creatures, whole and complete in Him! My children may have a crayon maker but my God has a Christian maker.
