After you finish reading today’s Scriptures, come back and read the essay here to dig deeper into the ways we see this specific promise at work in our day’s reading. Then join your fellow Bible readers in the comments to reflect on and discuss what you’re learning!
The heartache and sorrow of this world is enough to break us and can often feel like the inevitable end. And though we may look out and see a world twisted and marred by sin, God has promised to make everything new. How this will happen is largely a mystery, and this is why God’s promise to make all things new just might be the one that requires the greatest amount of faith.
Through the cross, God has made a way for His goodness to permeate our world and overtake the curse of sin. He has promised to make all things new, including the brokenness we see in and around us. We glimpse this final outcome as Revelation 21:3–4 says, “grief, crying, and pain will be no more.” We trust that this will be reality one day because of the One who made this promise, and we seek Him to understand how we can bring pieces of that promise to our world through our loving action now.
