This video presents some of my thoughts on the precious words of Jesus in Revelation 21:5, where our Savior declares that He makes “all things new." Revelation 21:5 tells us that God so loves new things that new things will be part of heaven!
All through time, we see that God loves new things:
• In Leviticus God asked for a new grain offering (Leviticus 23:16)
• In Numbers God gave Israel new wine and new grain (Numbers 18:12)
• In Psalm God tells us that He loves a new song (Psalm 33:3, 40:3)
• In Isaiah God declares new things for His people (Isaiah 42:9, 43:19)
• He gives us a new name (Isaiah 62:2)
• He will make a new heavens and a new earth (Isaiah 65:17, 66:22)
• In Jeremiah God makes us part of a new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31
• In Lamentations God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23)
• In Ezekiel God gives us a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:26)
• In Matthew Jesus looks for new wineskins to use (Matthew 9:17)
• In John Jesus gives us a new commandment (John 13:34)
• In 2 Corinthians God makes us a new creation and makes things new (2 Corinthians 5:17)
• In Revelation God promises a New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2)
• God even made sure Jesus was buried in a new tomb! (John 19:41)
Think of what God wants to make new in this New Year
• New mercies, new grace
• New blessings
• New opportunities
• New conquest over stubborn sins
• New faith replacing old fears
• New life for many
I don’t doubt that God also has new challenges, new responsibilities, and new accountabilities for you this year - but whatever new comes to you from the hand of Jesus will be a blessing.
