And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful (Rev. 21:5).
Certainly all things need making new. It is about time for the old vesture to be rolled up and the new creation to put on it's beautiful garments. Only the Lord who made all things in the beginning can make them new. It takes as great power to make a new world out of an evil one as it does to make one out of nothing. And our Jesus is able to do it. He has been making saints out of sinners. Soon He shall change the body of our humiliation, that it may be like unto His glorious body (Phil. 3:21, ARV). He came "to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10) as well as those who were lost. And this new earth will become the eternal home of God's redeemed. "Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth" (Matt. 5:5).
The New Jerusalem, with its holy inhabitants, will descend from God out of heaven (Rev. 21:2) to become the capital of this earth renewed. All things will be new--new heavens, a new earth, a new immortal race. There will be new work--"they shall build houses, and inhabit them" (Isa. 65:21); new relationships--"God himself shall be with them, and be their God" (Rev. 21:3); new contact with nature--"the wolf...shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them" (Isa. 11:6); a new security--"there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain" (Rev. 21:4). And this is a certified promise, for He who inspired it said, "Write: for these words are true and faithful" (verse 5).
MEDITATION PRAYER: "Among the gods there there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works" (Ps. 86:8).
