Like A Garment



Hebrews 1:10-12 (ESV Strong's)

10 And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,

and the heavens are the work of your hands;

11 they will perish, but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment,

12 like a robe you will roll them up,

like a garment they will be changed.

But you are the same,

and your years will have no end.”


Creation is the garment God has chosen to clothe His infinite life in the finite. This allows Him to experience and know the finite and to fill it with the fullness of His being. This is where He will rest when His work of creation is done. 


This is the light of creation whom we know as Christ Jesus. He took the garment of finite man and raised that finite body of man into a new creation. One that becomes immortal when joined with the light of God. 


We will exchange a mortal garment for one that is immortal. The elements of our earth will be fused together with the light of heaven by the power and presence of His Holy Spirit. 


Man is not the meaning of creation. Man is not the purpose of creation. We are part of what God is doing and His companion. He has  chosen us who have answered His call for the wedding feast to His life and rest.
