For many years, I longed for Jesus to return and fix what I believed was a broken , cursed, sinful and ugly world. A world beyond repair and needed to be replaced with a new one.
I thought the new creation would be a perfect physical world that would replace this one. But over time, my eyes were opened. The new creation is not waiting to arrive, it has already come. It is spiritual in nature, just like the transformation that happens within us. It is entered by faith, not seen by sight.
This may challenge what many of us have always believed. It may raise questions. That is good. We are meant to seek, to ask, and to grow.
God is not threatened by our questions. He invites us into deeper understanding. The Bible is not simply about scientific or historical events. It is a spiritual and covenantal revelation. A story of God dwelling with His people.
The new has come. The Kingdom is here. And we are living init now.
