My Pet Eel

Wednesday, March 24, 2021

When I was 8 years old, I had a little pet eel in my fish tank. One day it jumped out of the tank and I found it dead and dried up. For years, I kept that eel. Sometimes I kept it in my pocket, or in my desk at school, and sometimes I took it on trips. Other children kept pens in their pockets - I kept an eel. I carried that eel around for a long time. And one day it hit me, I said, "What am I doing?" So I threw it away. Messiah rose from the dead. To do that, He had to put aside the linens and the spices and the wrappings of death. You need to do the same thing. In Messiah, you have the power to put away dead things. Paul too had to take off the wrappings of his old life so he could be free. Do you have dead things in your life? Old burial attitudes, old dead bondages, old dead sins? Messiah removed His burial wrappings so you could remove yours. It's time to put away that eel.rn
