Scripture: Revelation 21:5 — “And He who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’”
Devotional
As you reach the end of this section on the Fall, frustration, and hope, lift your eyes to the end of the story. Jesus will one day make “all things new.” That includes you, your coworkers, your work, your industry, and the systems that feel so broken today.
You live between the “already” and the “not yet.” Christ has already defeated sin and death, but the full renewal of all things is still to come. In this in-between time, you experience both beauty and brokenness, success and struggle, joy and grief at work. Yet your hope is secure: the One seated on the throne is actively making all things new.
This hope does not lead to passivity; it empowers perseverance. You can work with integrity in a corrupt culture, serve with love in a selfish environment, and labor with joy in a weary world because you know how the story ends. Your everyday faithfulness is part of God’s larger renewal project.
Reflection Questions:
Where have you most felt the brokenness of work in this season?
How does the promise that Jesus is making all things new strengthen your hope?
What does it mean for you to live and work as someone who knows the end of the story?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You that You are making all things new. When I see the brokenness of work, anchor my heart in Your promise. Help me live and labor with hope, knowing that my faithfulness today is part of Your eternal story. Amen.
