And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful [Revelation 21:5]. And He that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He saith, Write, for these words are faithful and true. He is going to make all things new! This is more meaningful to me than anything else. I do not know about you, but I have never really been satisfied with this life. I have found myself frustrated, I have found myself hemmed in, and I have never been able to accomplish all that I have wanted to accomplish. Ive never been the man Ive wanted to be. Ive never been the husband Ive wanted to be. Ive never been the father Ive wanted to be. And Ive never preached the sermon Ive wanted to preach. I just do not seem to have arrived. All accomplishments seem to have a blot on them. But He says to me, as He says to you, I am going to make all things new. You are going to be able to start over again. I am waiting for that day when all things are going to be new and I can start over. Have you ever stopped to think about the potential of starting out all new again, of learning all over again, and never ceasing but going on into eternity? Oh, the potential and capability of man! Yonder at the Tower of Babel, God said, I had better go down there, or nothing will be withheld from man (see Gen. 11:5–7). It was very foolish for some scientists and preachers to say that man could not go to the moon; I think he is going farther than that. Man is a clever being which God has made. Death ends his potential down here, but with eternity ahead of him, oh, the prospects a saved man has! We see here the glorious prospect of all things made new. We can start over, and there will never be an end to our growth. Remember that of Christ it is said, Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end (see Isa. 9:7). There is constant growth and development. Just think of the prospect of that for the future. Someday I am going to know something; today I dont, but I will then.
