Listen to these words…reconcile, restore, redeem, recover, return, regenerate, resurrect—the “re” prefix signifies a return to the original condition. In the beginning, Adam and Eve walked and talked with God in the perfect paradise He created. They were created in God’s image to be His image bearers and bring Him glory on earth. You and I are created in the image of God as well. He longs for us to be His image bearers on this earth and for all eternity in the New Heavens and New Earth. Make no doubt, this restoration, this reconciliation, this regeneration comes at a great price. That price is found in the word redemption—God bought back what he formerly owned. The price was no less than the death of His very own perfect son—Jesus. Restoration is far more expensive than recycling comes close to being. I for one am thankful God is the God of restoration.
