March 8, 2020 · Revelation 21:1–3

The New Deal #4: The New Eden

“This isn't a bunch of ghosts enjoying new age music together in the clouds. This is a new humanity here enjoying this beautiful space. The universe is getting overall. We are going to be resurrected. We are going to have new bodies. Remember Jesus ate fish after his resurrection. There's going to be experience of physicality. It'll be beyond our imaginations right now. It'll be human bodies 2.0. There's going to be a new garden, a new space, and it's going to be so beautiful. In the original garden, it says that Adam looked upon the flowers. He loved the taste of them, and he also saw them as beautiful. We're going to taste things that we've never tasted. We're going to see beauty unlike anything we've ever seen. God is painting for us this picture of a beautiful new reality. The new deal ends with a new vision of humanity just enjoying God's creation and God's beauty in ways that we can't even imagine.”
