At 6:00 minutes into this video, there's a scene where Mary, with the help of John, is able to go to Jesus as he is carrying his cross to Calvary, and as she touches him, he says to her, "See, mother, I make all things new." And that hit me.
Of course, this isn't Scripture, and it's from a Catholicism point of view, but it is powerful to me. Jesus took this Cross, and He drank the cup of His Father, and no person could do this. Not all the human goodness put together in the world of all time, could complete this astounding deed. All things are now being made new, because of Jesus Christ's passion. In the darkest hour of all history only Jesus would be able to say, "It is Finished!" There's nothing greater in the universe to contemplate upon then what our Savior accomplished on Good Friday. On this one particular Friday, where the most wicked and evil act took place, we call "Good". Amen to that. Thank You Lord Jesus. What a incredibly awesome and loving Savior!
"This newness of everything was to be a leading feature in Messiah's reign, and it has already been; but far more shall this be seen in the latter days. ...Do you wonder, beloved, that if a man be in Christ he is a new creature? If everything that Christ touches is made new, if he refreshes and revives, if he re-establishes and re-edifies, and new-creates wherever he goes, ar you at all astonished that those who live nearest to His heart, nay, are in vital union with His blessed person, should also be made new? It would be very astonishing if it were not so.
Let us direct our attention then to the teaching of the text, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature." CH Spurgeon
