“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up…But according to his promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.”
2 Peter 3: 10, 13
Worship Hint for Families
Happy New Year! It’s a new year, so do something or be someone different. Make that significant CHANGE. Such are the sentiments of more serious-minded New Year’s resolutions – disdaining trivialities like “I resolve to lose five pounds.”
What do you believe and teach in your family about “newness?” Scripture speaks to us of three distinct facets of ‘being made new.’ The first is that, at Christ’s return there will be a “…new heavens and a new earth.” Isaiah, Peter, and John all teach of a complete re-making of creation. We have no part in that accomplishment, but we will gain great benefit. “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
We will look at the other two facets in subsequent columns.
