Unfortunately you cannot have a beginning without also having an ending. While most want the new beginning that is obviously the intent of God, few who benefit from the old order are simply willing to let their benefit "die" so that the new can emerge. That is why new beginnings are always birth in blood - some fighting for life some resisting their impending death. The resurrection is only good news for those who eagerly await the new. For those who graspingly cling to the old, the resurrection is the worst possible news. <BR/>It is hard to believe that the new is coming - when you see the violent death spasms of the old, and it is hard for those who benefit from the old order to understand that God will also provide for them in the new order. <BR/><BR/>Creation continues to groan and we continue to await the new birth - the renewal of all things.Kenny, Lora, Leanna, Dima and Lexi Paynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03731937832793608975noreply@blogger.com
