*NEW BREED BIRTH NEW BREED* (I)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"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 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
To understand the background or context of 2 Corinthians 5:17 helps to see certain things very clearly. These things can be simply summarized as New Breed produces New Breed.
Let's see:- In 2 Corinthians 5:14(BBE), it says, *"For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;"*
The first thing was that God's love was great in the lives of the Apostles that they were moved to seek the need to tell others about Christ. These were new creature men themselves, burning with conviction that Jesus died for all, therefore all have died.
But even more importantly, since Jesus died for all, all who live must consider themselves alive at the mercy of Christ! *"And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead."* (2 Corinthians 5:15)
Then comes the next vital point-- *"For this REASON, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge."* (2 Corinthians 5:16) The reason being referred to, is the fact that every new creature man is to live for Christ. So we don't consider their tribes, their backgrounds, their physical looks, etc. Rather, we focus on the one who died for them; whose they have now become and should live for His pleasure.
Thus, it is concluded as follow: *"So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new."* (2 Corinthians 5:17) Those who are in Christ, code named the New Breed, have a new identity. They have a new focus, they have a new vision, and new purpose and mission for living. And this NEW is all about Christ-- To Know Him, and To Make Him Know! Hallelujah!
_MEDITATION:_
*"But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all."* (Colossians 3:8-11 (KJV))
