Alive Day

1 Cor. 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

I watched a segment on the evening news recently about Alive Day.  For those of you (like me until now) who don't know, each seriously injured war veteran recalls the day when, involved in fatal circumstances, they didn't die but miraculously managed to stay alive.  Some even choose to celebrate it like a second birthday.  And it makes perfect sense because on that day, they were essentially (re)born.  Given a new life.  And I'm sure these individuals are thankful beyond words.  Determined that their new beginning has special purpose.

Well, most of you can probably already guess where I'm headed with this blog.

We all have an Alive Day to celebrate.  The day we accepted and confessed Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  For until that day, we were involved in the fatal circumstances of our sin (Rom. 6:23).  But by grace and through faith (Eph. 2:8), God miraculously saved us.  Our spirits were reborn.  We were given a new life.

When was your Alive Day?  How are you celebrating?  Does each day find you thankful beyond words and determined to live a life of purpose?
