The
Lord wants to extend prosperity to all nations. God wants to reclaim the world
and bring it to its original glory. God has given us a glimpse of this glory by
sending Jesus into the world. This glimpse of Jesus and what he accomplished in
his short span of life inspires us to hope and to look beyond our present and
broken world. It inspires us to look
into that new heaven and that new earth in which all will be comforted and all
hearts will rejoice.
The
new creation is not, however, merely a dream or a vision; it is not something
that will be established only in the future. It takes on concrete reality in
the community of God’s people whose lives together already testify to the
reconciling power of the gospel. It is a new creation that is made visible by
both the proclamation and the living out of the unconditional love of God made
visible in Jesus.
