"Our Saviour is our Very Mother in whom we be endlessly borne, and never shall come out of Him."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 57)
It is wonderful that God made us in His good image. And it is wonderful that Christ joined with our earthly humanity and redeemed and restored it, giving us His righteousness in place of our sins. And it is even more wonderful that Christ made us totally new creations in Him, full of resurrection life! Christ is like our Mother who gives birth to us in the resurrection. We are born in Christ to a whole new type of existence that is beyond this earthly life and is instead heavenly life. This life is beyond the reach of death, being resurrection life. This life is not temporary life but is eternal life. This life is not simply our human life but is God's life!
We are a new creation. This new creation is holy and beautiful and perfect. It is fresh and clean and pure. We are born from Christ into this resurrection life and never shall go out of it. In fact we are endlessly new in Christ and never shall be out of Him. A newborn baby is the most pure, perfect, pristine little being we could imagine. It is fresh and new and innocent. It is untouched by evil and also has never done any evil. This is the new creation that we endlessly are. We are endlessly innocent and perfect and new in Christ, continually fresh and clean, perfect and pristine. We cannot be ruined or damaged, ever. We are always in that place of innocence and freshness with Him! Whatever hangups or failures we had in the old life are just gone; here all is clean and new, pure and perfect! Sin just doesn't exist here. Life and love exist here in fullness! This is the God life, and in God's life there is no struggle, pain, sin or brokenness. In God's life there is simply fullness of joy, peace, love and communion. For Christ has brought us into His life, a whole new realm, a whole new way of existence. It is truly heaven on earth!
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
A Prayer: With You, everything is fresh and new!
