God’s new Story continues. What is all this LOVE about? It’s the journey towards God’s promise. We wait in love for His promise for creation itself to be free from bondage and decay – Death.
We wait patiently.
We wait eagerly.
We wait with hope.

Jesus arrived.
Jesus died.
Jesus rose.
The Spirit appeared.
Now we wait.
Romans 8:19-21
For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
John is our witness to this hope in Revelation 21
Revelation 21:1-5
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
End Scripture
Here we go again and God says “I am making everything new!”
Creation is waiting. We are waiting. We are waiting in hope. God’s promise is not for us to just escape this broken world. His promise is RESTORATION.
We look forward to RESTORATION in hope.
We hope for RESTORATION as we wait in LOVE.
Our witness in scripture is more hope.
Hope for RE-CREATION.
No more destruction.
No more hopelessness.
HOPE.
FOR A NEW BEGINNING…
EARTH WAITS
And so we wait in love. Because the bible begins with:
GOD CREATES
And it ends with
GOD CREATES
