When God makes all things new – The light of Christ changes how we see the world and “God can make us humans new by drawing us into this new perspective,” says the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) General Secretary Rev. Dr Anne Burghardt in her New Year message to the global communion of churches.

Reflecting on the words of Revelation 21:5 ‘See I am making all things new’, she reflects on the way that God’s promise “stretches across time, from the moment those words were first spoken to the early Christian community," up until our present day. How do we receive this message, she asks? “With hope or with fear? With longing or with resistance?”
