Store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven
where moth and rust cannot destroy and thieves cannot break in and steal

All Things New

Wouldn’t that be something? Do you ever take a look at the world and wonder why God doesn’t just chalk it all up to a big mistake, zap the planet into oblivion and start over?

Well, in a sense, He’s done just that - start all over I mean.

He knew the mistake that we’d make before He even brought the universe into existence. And, before He brought the universe into existence, out of literally nothing I might add, the solution to our mistake was in place and ready to roll. At just the right time, our Creator instituted a plan to make all things new.

That process started with the arrival of God the Son, on this planet, in the form of a Human.

With the birth of Jesus to a poor Jewish woman, Creator God began a project to make humans right again.

. He made it possible for us to have our hearts of stone replaced with hearts that are once again capable of love.
. He gave us lives of meaning, and context and purpose.
. He showed us, through example, how to find life by dying to self, how to gain everything we need by letting go of everything the world says we must have.
. He’s shown us how to rediscover the reason that we’d been created in the first place - to bear the image of our Creator.
