He Wants Our Site…

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17.

British businessman Lindsay Clegg told a story about a London warehouse property he was selling.

The building had been empty for months, and vandals had badly damaged the doors, smashed the windows, and thrown trash all over the interior. As Clegg showed the property to a prospective buyer, he repeated incessantly that he would have the structure repaired.

“Don’t worry about the repairs,” the buyer told him. “When I buy this place, I’m tearing down the building and constructing something completely new. I don’t want the building; I want the site.”

It’s very much the same with all of us.

When we come to Christ, we’re much like that lot with an old warehouse on it. Because of our sins, we’re in a dire spiritual condition. And often our temptation is to make all the right repairs before we give ourselves over to God by placing our faith in Christ.

But the truth is, God doesn’t want our repairs. He wants our site. He wants you and me. He wants to take us just as we are and build something completely new.

“He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” – Revelation 21:5.

So don’t feel like you have to clean yourself up to come to God. Instead, trust in Jesus to make you new!

Stay Blessed!
