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.
