Idea: Everything that has been broken by sin will be restored by Christ.
Intro: The passage starts with the proclamation, “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth.” Isaiah uses the metaphor of recreation to relate the remarkable changes that God was going to bring about. You might think of it as an "extreme makeover."
In this passage, God promises to restore His church in such a manner. The best way to describe it is that of re-creation, the making of the heavens and the earth new again. We'll begin by thinking explaining the recreation, then examine four characteristics of the recreation.
1. It is a totally new city and new people (18-19) 2. It is totally happy (19-20) 3. It is totally secure (21-23) 4. It is totally at peace (24-25)
Conc – The indicative is that Christ accomplishes an extreme makeover. Everything broken by sin will be made right by Christ. The imperative is to live this out by being Christ's ambassadors of peace in a dying and decaying world. He has given you hope and life and a purpose of extending His peace to those around you.
