Jesus, The Catalyst of Change

Message Handout


2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (ESV) - 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
