The Universe, Too, Waits For Its Redemption!

Hello! and happy good Tuesday to all of us; and, it's just 59 days to go before Christmas, GUYS.   Our today's "daily bread":

 

THE GOOD NEWS (27 October 2015)

"I consider that the suffering of our present life cannot be compared with the Glory that will be revealed and given to us.  All creation is eagerly expecting the birth in glory of the children of GOD.  For if now the created world was unable to attain its purpose, this did not come from itself, but from the one who subjected it.  But it is not without hope; for even the created world will be freed from this fate of death and share the freedom and glory of the children of GOD.

We know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pangs of birth.  Not creation alone , but even ourselves, although the Spirit was given to us as a foretaste of what we are to receive, we groan in our innermost being, eagerly awaiting the day when GOD will give us full rights and rescue our bodies as well. 

In hope we already have salvation.  But if we saw what we hoped for, there would no longer be hope:  how can you hope for what is already seen?  So we hope for what we do not see and we will receive it through patient hope." - Romans 8:18-25

 

(Creation groans and suffers the pangs of birth.  We see in the world more contradictions and tensions than peaceful progress:  in fact this earth is not our permanent residence.  On the contrary it is a place of sorrow, and dark faith prepares us for what we await from GOD:  we wait for our full status of sons and daughters.  Nature cannot but participate with us at this birth of which the passion of JESUS is the sign.  It will share in the "liberty and glory of the children of GOD":  it would be difficult to think that resurrected persons will not have a place in a spiritualized and transfigured world.)
