February 12, 2017: Everything and I Mean Every Thing – Landon Lynch

Paul makes an astounding statement. First, God is a pleasure seeker? Paul states God enjoys what he is doing in and through Christ. And what he is doing through Christ involves everything. Or as Paul says it in Colossians 1, “… all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven.” Which is to say – this involves everything in existence. So now we know God enjoys what he is doing for everything in the universe; and the thing he is doing? 

Well that is the amazing part. He is bringing “unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” This is not just something Paul cooks up here. This is something Paul speaks about in Colossians, and Jesus speaks about in Matthew 19. It speaks toward the renewal, redemption and restoration of everything. Whether our most glorious moments or our great sadness; God’s joy is doing something new with all of it! Thank God!
