GLOW Gift of joy | Page 7

The work of redemption will be complete. In
the place where sin abounded, God’s grace much
more abounds. The earth itself, the very field that
Satan claims as his, is to be not only ransomed
but exalted. Our little world, under the curse of
sin the one dark blot in His glorious creation, will
be honored above all other worlds in the universe
of God. Here, where the Son of God tabernacled
in humanity; where the King of glory lived and
suffered and died,--here, when He shall make all
things new, the tabernacle of God shall be with
men, “and He will dwell with them, and they shall
be His people, and God Himself shall be with them,
and be their God.” And through endless ages as the
redeemed walk in the light of the Lord, they will
praise Him for His unspeakable Gift,-- Immanuel,
“God with us.”
