Day 213 New!
"The nations will walk by its light, and the kinds of the earth will bring their splendor into it." Rev. 21:24
One of the delights of worship is sharing it with believers from different cultures. Our songs, music, and styles differ, but God made all that variety because he enjoys it!
This verse says that when Christ returns, he will usher in a new creation. We will gather into the city where God dwells through 12 gates -- open to all nations and his people from every corner of the world. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into the new creation, and "the kings of the earth will bring their splendor."
God's new creation will have continuity with the life we live now....The purified cultural gifts of every people will find their place in God's new world.
Remember that the work you are doing today will show their results in this new creation. What you are doing now, in your own culture and in others, makes eternal difference--one you will get just glimmers of until you get there!
