For today’s Fridays with the Molt, I would like to point you to something I stumbled upon. Writing about the Apostle John’s Revelation, the Molt writes,
“Whom does John see? He sees the infinite, eternal God coming to the finite beings he has created and to this vulnerable earth. God comes to his transitory creatures on this earth to live among them, and now finally to find rest in his creation as he once did on the sabbath. God will not seek out his dwelling place in special temples or cathedrals. He wants to make his whole creation his home: โHeaven is my throne and the earth is my footstoolโ (Isa. 66:1; Acts 7:49). The cosmos is his temple; chaos is his enemy. That is why the beauty of the new creation will drive out chaos. Heaven and earth are waiting to become Godโs house, for everything created has been made for love. Godโs Spirit is in them all and throws them open for Godโs future. God finds no rest until everything he has created has returned home to him, like the prodigal son in the parable.” (Moltmann, Jesus Christ for Today’s World)
I love that the Molt states that everything has been made for love. What a tremendous statement and a great way to judge the intention of redemptive history.
