Revelation 21 begins with the powerful statement that we need a new world; the old world is unable to embrace what God has for us next.

Sometimes we can repair broken things. But there can come a time when something broken is too far gone and we must begin again....

Creator of all things new, teach me to celebrate the good in my world while I look forward to your new world where there is no pain or loss. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

Change can be difficult. It is easy to get comfortable with what is familiar. In Acts, some in Jerusalem criticize Peter for having fellowship with the Gentiles. Peter explains that his actions are not his own idea but are inspired by a vision from God. This change leads to the spread of the gospel. Revelation speaks of a new heaven and a new earth. God cares for the earth that God created, but at the end of time everything will be changed and made better. Jesus tells his disciples in John a new commandment, namely that they should love one another. This is how others will know that they are truly Jesus’ disciples. Psalm 148 is not about change but is pure praise for the works of the Lord.
