The Survivor Tree

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

A small tree that survived the horrific events of 911 is an amazing depiction of the condition of our lives before and after we are saved.

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (Romans 6:4)
