TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER
There is a tension that most of us live with every day, even if we have never put it into words. We know that things are not the way they should be, in our own lives and in the world around us, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot make everything right. At the same time, we feel strongly that things ought to be better, that justice and peace and love should win out. Paul points to this tension and to its resolution in 1 Corinthians 15:28, looking ahead to the day when the Son himself will hand over all things to God the Father, so that God may be all in all.
The resurrection of Jesus is God’s answer to that tension. It is his promise that what is broken will be restored, that what is wrong will be made right, that the longing we carry for things to be as they should is not a longing that will go unanswered forever. Jesus is not just the one who saves us from what was. He is the one who is leading all of creation toward what will be. Restoration will be the final word, and God himself will be all in all.
and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
