He's Taking It All Back

Why did Jesus die? Short answer: to give His life as a "ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). That has personal meaning to many of us who admire and love and follow Christ, of course.

But the impact of our Savior's death and resurrection means far more. Global, eternal, triumphant, emphatic, exalted, victory! I just read a great article from the wonderful blog  Rebecca Writes.

Here's a short quote, but honestly, you should read the whole thing. It is thrilling, and exalts our Savior so wonderfully. Click on the quote, and rejoice.
Christ is taking it all back. The fullness of time began with Christ’s death, and the fullness will be realized completely when those united with him come into their glory as children of God. Their glory becomes the glory of all of creation, and this exalts the one who died in order to unite all things.
