That sentence, I am making everything new, is the heart of this passage. And this is not a vague hope, this is a clear promise spoken by God himself. And so that's the first thing I want us to take hold of, to hold onto, is that Christian hope is not wishful thinking. Our Christian hope is not wishful thinking. See, the hope we have as believers is very different from the optimistic kind of hope that this world has. Optimism says, things will probably work out, so I'm hopeful. But our hope, true hope in Christ says, God is already at work and he will finish what he started.
