New Game. New Rules. New Jerusalem.

Let's continue our reflections on Pastor Benji's sermon.

After the fall, Eve was served three judgements for her role in disobeying God's command:

Physical- she would experience pain in childbirth;
Psychological- she would experience desire and longing for her husband;
Political/Social- she would experience being demoted from her position of shared leadership.

We have a gracious God, and He is able to fully restore all the things that were lost in the fall. We are promised an eternity with Christ, and His word speaks of heaven- the place where there is no pain, the place where we have no other longings because Christ Himself is our sustenance, the place where there is no "battle of the sexes" because we have all become one in Christ (see Revelation 21:3-7).

Oh Lord, how we long for that day! We hear You say, "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be" (Revelation 22:12).

Yes, we wait in faith. And we work honestly. And we walk in the way that pleases You.
Yes. We will see You soon.
