Isaiah’s vision of the future new earth is described in terms of land and justice. Homes can be built without fear of eviction, crops planted without fear of exploitation. We know that God’s creation is fully able to meet humanity’s material needs now, but this requires good stewardship of resources and justice for good stewards.
SUNDAY 11
As Christians, we celebrate a Saviour who is the perfect embodiment of God’s love and justice through grace. God’s grace also flows through creation, where the sun rises and rain falls on all people without favouritism. Praise God for his generosity!
