Daily Thought: A New Chapter Has Begun

"The New Testament writers speak as if Christ's achievement is rising from the dead was the first event of its kind in the whole history of the universe.  He is the 'first fruits,' the 'pioneer of life.' He has forced open a door that has been locked since the death of the first man.  He has met, fought, and beaten the King of Death.  Everything is different because He has done so.  This the beginning of the New Creation: a new chapter in cosmic history has opened." ~ C. S. Lewis, The Joyful Christian, p. 65
