![]() Through the resurrection of Jesus, God defeated death. The grace of God appeared in Jesus of Nazareth. We seek something or someone who will free us from this bondage, especially death. We groan for release from the brokenness of the world. We yearn for shalom in every aspect of life, both body and soul. And sufferers groan under the burden, yearning for deliverance. Some call this “fallenness.” Whatever we may name it, we live in a reality filled with both good and evil, both order and chaos.Įvil and chaos create suffering in human lives. In many ways, God’s good creation is also a broken place, especially where human sin contributes its nauseating and tragic influences. Yet, it is presently filled with chaos, both natural and moral. The creation is a very good place to inhabit. Divine grace empowers hopeful waiting even as we groan for wholeness, for shalom. ![]()
