Some of you have watched the television show “Extreme Makeover’ where they take a family’s older house, undergo a complete makeover of the home and then present it to the family – their new home. Sometimes it is a renovation project where they improve upon the existing home that is usually in poor condition. Other times they completely destroy the existing home and start from scratch. The program brings people from the community together to assist with the project and there is always a very emotional ending as the extreme makeover home is displayed to the family and the community as they ‘move that bus’.
Well, I want to tell you about a Truly Extreme Makeover! Where the old home is gone and a new home is created – a complete renovation and the start of a new life!
- Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. [2 Cor 5:17]
- But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration (spiritual rebirth) and renewing (renovation/makeover) by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. [Titus 3:4-7]
- …that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth [Eph 4:23-24]
The Holy Spirit at work in you, giving you an extreme makeover…and they rejoice in heaven.
So, are you ready to ‘move that bus’?
