Not Recovery, But New Creation
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009I recently finished reading C.S. Lewis’ Perelandra—fascinating. In the final chapter, Lewis paints a picture not unlike the book of Revelation, with all singing the praises of the Creator and Redeemer (known in Perelandra as “Maleldil”). Among their praises, the following line grabbed my attention:
After a falling, not a recovery but a new creation
Oh what significance is packed into so few words.
In Redemption Groups, we do not aim at recovery, if recovery simply means getting back to life before “a falling,” be that some abuse or some addiction.
No, our eyes are fixed forward on the new creation, something wholly different—and better. Jesus is the first of that new creation, has already given his children new birth into that new creation, and promises to complete it in us, making us gloriously, perfectly, like him (1 Cor. 15:23, 2 Cor. 5:17, Phil. 1:6, 1 Jn. 3:2).
