"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." John 1:1-3
God created the world we live in
He created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
He created after the flood of which Noah built the ark
God was displeased with His creation
in so many ways
He gave promise
and
He cursed the ground
and all that which came forth from it
But even in His displeasure,
He still loved us
We were and are
His creation
God created Himself and became human
as the baby Jesus
and when Jesus was raised
from the dead
a new creation was born
Jesus - God himself
He loved us so much
He came to live among us
and show us the way
Still,
there were some,
there are many
who rebuff him,
who refuse to show homage,
no honor does He receive from these
who continually come against Him
and seek a life of their own choosing
The choices we made
and continue to make
do not force God
to turn His back on us
Always seeking us out,
calling to us,
weeping over decisions made
that only hurl us down
a path of further regret
God's creation.
Us.
Jesus.
The world.
All.
New.
A new life created by God.
When Jesus' lifeless body
is raised from the dead,
God brings
a new future, a new promise,
a new creation ....
born in the midst of
the old creation.
The new creation,
born with the resurrection
of Jesus Christ,
of which we are a part
as His followers.
The new creation,
born in the Son of God
who died to set our souls free.
The new creation,
born of God,
being God
who lives within our hearts
as the Holy Spirit.
The new creation,
the Lord Almighty,
King of Kings,
has come
and is forevermore.
