“For
we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until
now.” Romans 8:22
We all know the story of Humpty
Dumpty. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty
together again. That truth applies to the world we live in. It is broken and it
can’t be fixed. That doesn’t mean we have to break it more; but we must realize
that because of sin it is in an unfixable state. Man alone is not fallen; all
creation is fallen with us.
In the Garden God cursed four things
or people. He cursed the serpent. He cursed Eve. He cursed Adam, and He cursed
the earth. (Genesis 3:14-19) Since that moment the perfect creation has groaned
under the pain of man’s sin. But it awaits the full redemption when Christ returns
to set everything right; a perfect new creation without sin or the curse.
Therefore Isaiah can say, “The trees of the field will clap their hands.” (Is.
55:12) What a wondrous day it will be when Jesus makes all things new.
Dear
Father, Thank You for the promise that You will make all things new. Amen.
