Well these days you can buy almost anything imaginable on eBay including a man’s life. Yeah, no kidding, an Australian man has put his life up for internet auction—his house, his job, his friends. It started really with his broken heart after his wife left him a couple of years ago. He said he wants a fresh start. Now you can sell your stuff, but everywhere you go, you take you with you.

I’m Ron Hutchcraft and now most of us would not go to those kind of extremes, but some of us do know the feeling of wishing we could start over, get that fresh start, move from a life that’s unfulfilling to a life that matters. Millions of us have discovered where new beginnings can be found. It says this about Jesus in the Bible, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Now, that’s not just a new environment—it’s a new you. Many of us actually divide our life into the same two chapters that they divide human history into—B.C. and A.D.—me before Christ and after. It’s all the difference in the world.

Something happened when Jesus died on that cross that released God’s power to overcome the sin that has scarred our life and to make us into what God created us to be from the inside out. After all, if He can walk out His grave under His own power, is there anything He can’t do in your life?

Our website I think will be a spiritual encouragement to you. I invite you to go there. It’s ALifeThatMatters.org because God put you here to live a life that matters.
