The Bourne Identity: The Old Has Gone (2 Corinthians 5:17)

In The Bourne Identity, Jason Bourne wakes with no memory of who he was—only skills and instincts. As his past resurfaces, he must choose: become the assassin he was, or become someone new. He chooses new. If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here! Bourne's amnesia is an accidental grace—he can start over. In Christ, we get intentional amnesia for our old identity. We are not reformed criminals; we are new people. The old Bourne is dead. The new man chooses differently because he is different.
