The butterfly was once a caterpillar, a worm. It could not fly. Bu it goes into a cocoon-a chrysalis, in which the word, appropriately, is ‘Christ.’ And it emerges a butterfly, completely transformed. The old has passed. The new has arrived. It was once weighed down by gravity, now it can fly. Christians were once under the reign of sin, but now can live in freedom. – James Bryan Smith
