An Allegory of the Transforming Work of Christ

The work of God in the world he created is truly amazing! But as beautiful as God's work in creation is, it does not compare to the beauty of the redeeming work of Christ! The wonder of this work is beyond comprehension. In a similar way I am amazed at how a worm that is by nature domed to crawl in the fowl and dark places of the world is lifted to majesty of a butterfly. Only through a transformation! This transformation changes the nature of the creature, and the function of the creature. This creature which once fed off on the living now helps the living reproduce.This once awkward creature which was hopelessly bound to the earth now graces the sky. What a picture of the new life that is accomplished through the transforming power of Christ. The saving power of God not only cleanses and transforms human beings who kill and destroy one another, and defame their maker, but he makes new creatures who help reproduce life proceeding to more life! Thank God that their is hope for the human race in Christ!
