What Christ's return will do for you We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. - Romans 8:22-23 A music composer had a mischievous son who used to love to get under his father's skin. Often, he would come in late at night when his father and mother were in bed. Before going to his room, he would go to the piano and loudly play a simple scale, all but the final note, thus leaving the scale incomplete. The father, hearing the scale minus the final note, would writhe in his bed, unable to relax after hearing the unresolved scale. Finally, he would stumble downstairs to the piano and hit the final note. Only then would he be able to sleep. It's called catharsis… that felt need every single one of us has to resolve things that seem out of balance to us. It's an innate feeling given to us by God to help us work toward and anticipate a time when every tension we have will be released and all things will be made new. |
