Building Anew
Jesus tells us that he will create new heavens and new earth. He will build a place where people will eat what they grow and live in the dwellings that they build. A place where there will only be rejoicing and happiness. Jesus says people will only believe if they see signs and wonders. So he provides what needs to be seen for them to believe. In his birthplace even though Jesus performs miracles, they do not believe. Jesus said that is because, “a prophet has no honor in his native place.”
It can be difficult when confronting life’s challenges to acknowledge the miracles and signs given to us by Jesus. What signs and wonders have you known? What signs and wonders would you like to know?
It can also be challenging to see those in our lives anew. When we have an almost unchangeable notion of who we think they are, for better or worse.
The Lord will take the old and create it anew. In your life, are there areas that you wish you could make new? Are there areas of your life that need rejoicing and happiness?
