In order for a caterpillar to become what God created it to be-a butterfly – it must give up everything it knows. It must give up crawling and it must give up eating leaves. Once the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it will never look or feel like a caterpillar again. Being a butterfly is a million times better than being a caterpillar! Think about how beautiful and free the butterfly is! The story of the butterfly reminds us of the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection and our promise of eternal life. The butterfly is a symbol of that new life-of God’s love which lives in each of us and wants to fill every part of our life!!!
