When one of our kids struggled a little in elementary school, she told us she did better when she was assigned as seat in the front of the class. It turns out, she needed glasses, but she didn’t know that other kids saw the world more clearly than her. When she got her first pair, you could say, all things were new! She could sit anywhere in the class and see things she had never seen before. Our reading from Revelation contains the words, “Behold, I make all things new.“ God offers us a belief system, a set of prescription lenses through which we see the world like never before, both this world and the next.
