Imagine rising out of the fog on a hike or by plane and enjoying a magnificent view in bright sunshine. A vision gives hope, new beginnings and motivation for new things. "Look; I am creating something new; it is already sprouting." (The Bible, Isaiah 43:19) In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. He created them wonderfully, diversely, full of grace. Man was given the task of preserving the earth. But he exploits it, destroys it and does much injustice. The whole of creation groans and longs for redemption.

But God has an answer: Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world! A new beginning! Jesus has accomplished it. His death shakes the earth. His resurrection is the beginning of a new creation. And we can already be part of it.
