Romans 8:21 "All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay."
When Adam and Eve ate the apple, all of creation was cursed. And now all of creation is eagerly awaiting Christ's return and the final victory on that day when the curse will be once and for all lifted.
I often think about Christ's redemptive work in my own personal life. I so often just think about me and what Jesus did for me. This passage paints a more complete picture including all of creation in Christ's redemptive work on the cross. Jesus came to save and rescue it all. This new kingdom has come and will be complete someday soon with a new heaven, a new earth, and a new Jake-probably in that order?
Dear Jesus, thank you for the cross and what it means for the whole world. Amen.
