New Creation Reading

Return to sketches

It is not a coincidence that Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week. Just as in Genesis when God brought light out of darkness in creation, Jesus' resurrection brought light to our spiritual darkness and began a new creation. This responsive reading weaves together scriptures from Genesis, the Gospels, the Epistles, and Revelation to connect the the themes of light and life and the whole redemption story. It works great for Lent or Easter or any time of the year. Related scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:45 Colossians 2:12 Genesis 1:1-5 Genesis 2:7 Genesis 3:24 John 12:46 John 20:1 Revelation 22:2
