Gospel Sentence
“The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!” (Psalms 119:64)
Reading
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.” (Romans 8:18–21)
Meditation
Through Adam, one man sinned and the whole of creation, including man was infected with the virus of sin. The ravages of sin are all too evident in the world today. Disease, decay, death beset us and the created world. Yet, we hope in the One who is making all things new and look forward to the day we will stand fully in the presence of God.
