New creation
We had a text message first thing this morning saying a new grandchild
was on its way. At 8am I had a Communion service in Offchurch; it struck
me that my daughter-in-law's pain and subsequent joy (we trust) is a
picture of our Lord's suffering and joy - the joy of a new life
anticipates the joy of the new creation which Christ's crucifixion and
resurrection brought to birth. An obvious parallel, but I'm not sure I'd
seen it so vividly before.
