CHRIST the MAKER: “Behold I make all things new” (Rev 21:5). To create all things new is one of His most famous achievements.…In the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, all things are new. To the wisest mind, if unrenewed, there is nothing new, but to the humblest of the regenerated ones all things have become new. Our Lord Jesus has come to set up, by the preaching and teaching of the gospel,…a kingdom which is not of this world, a kingdom founded upon better principles and bringing infinitely better results to its subjects than any other dominion that has ever been. Into that kingdom He introduces only new men, who are made new creatures in Christ Jesus, who…serve Him in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. Moreover, Christ has opened for us an entrance into the kingdom of heaven above, for now we come to God “by a new and living way, which He has consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, His flesh.” —C.H. Spurgeon
