Advent Glimpses of our Future
Things have gotten broken in God’s good creation; the one God in Genesis declared creation good. God is not going to abandoned these broken things to be merely thrown away. The risk He took in making earth and man was something He considered to be well worth it; that project is still on. The God and Father of Jesus Christ is into redemption, big time! He has declared that He is going to restore all things. Think of all the broken things in creation He is going to rescue and restore. Think of human brokenness that He will make whole. He will not give up on His creation; neither should we. Earth will be restored and renewed. It will be more glorious than we can possibly imagine.
“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” Acts 3:19–21 (ESV)
