And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”

Revelation 21:5

My bike was always getting flat tires. The inner tube was full of patches. I needed that bicycle for my paper route. When my neighbor saw all the patches, he bought me a new inner tube and a new tire. What a nice surprise! 

God’s Son Jesus bought mankind a gift of new life; it was very expensive. The gift from Jesus fixes what is broken inside of us. We, who are sinners, were given this present of eternal life. Jesus paid the price for the gift of life by taking our sins to the cross, by dying, and rising again! FOR US! Oh, what love our Lord has for you and for me! Strive each day knowing that God is making all things new.

Dear Forgiving Lord, fix our iniquities and help us to receive Your gift of forgiveness with delight. Amen.

Reflect: Ponder God’s goodness.
