HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS NEW

Haven't you ever wondered whether the seemingly unending madness and violence in this world will ever end, it seems the world has grown cold and unloving as more innocent men, women and children are dying and suffering in unnecessary wars caused by human greed and selfishness and the current immigrant crisis in Europe is a testimony to this as thousands upon thousands of immigrants from war torn countries are seeking refuge but being turned away or forced to live in overcrowded camps.

How can one then believe that there is a God who is love and allows all these bad things to happen to innocent children whom He said He loves, well it's kind of hard to reconcile the two; a God of love and a world of suffering, but the truth is we don't have to despair and wonder whether we are alone in this universe left at the mercy of nature and whatever circumstances can throw at us; we have hope in His promise where He said He will neither leave us nor forsake us Deut 31;6, the truth is that God has never been far from the suffering people of this world, He has always been close to the broken hearted and the rejected of this world' He actually identifies with them, remember that Christ always helped those who were outcasts and He himself was rejected and even crucified.

Revelation 21;5 says that He the Christ will make all things new infact He says He is MAKING all things new signifying that He has began and has finished sanctifying His creation through His shed blood on the cross, Colossians 1;20 states that Christ reconciled ALL things in heaven and earth yes including all those who are behind the suffering of the innocent in this world back to God and yes there will be a day of reckoning when Christ returns but His purpose which was set before the foundation of the world will be done.

So then we should not lose hope in God whose mercies endures forever for He has set aside a Day in which His holy consuming fire will burn out all the dross and impure things in His creation so that no evil will exist anymore in His presence.Amen.
