Magnificent Overflow

The Master of the Glory does all things well. He clears the air of the human condition, the disordered mess of struggling humanity to set it right once & for all.

The band-aid of the Law has been swallowed by the Spirit of the living & breathing God.

Our Father Abba = magnificent overflow.

"The whole of created life shall be delivered/ set free from the tyranny of change and decay..."

The Letter to the Romans is a masterpiece that speaks to us of a Day of all days when the futility of change and decay ceases with deliverance by the One who has made us subject to disobedience "not willingly", but "by reason of Him who made it so .

The curse of sin has its limits, ultimately to be swallowed by the Lord of zao life.

"No more let sin and sorrow grow, or thorns infest the ground, He comes to make His blessings flow.....

Far as the curse is found!

Yes, Isaac Watts wrote over 750 hymns, and was a believer in the glorious Restitution of all things.

Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

Serious failure on the part of the Creator of all ? ?

As an escape from the doctrine of eternal torment, I at first embraced the doctrine of annihilation for the wicked, and for a little while tried to comfort myself with the belief that this life ended all for them. But the more I thought of it, the more it seemed to me that it would be a confession of serious failure on the part of the Creator, if He could find no way out of the problem of His creation, but to annihilate the creatures whom He had created.

One day a revelation came to me that vindicated God, and settled the whole problem forever.

I saw that it was true, as the Bible says, that as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. As was the first, even so was the second. The all in one case could not in fairness mean less than the all in the other.

I saw therefore that the remedy must necessarily be equal to the disease.

The salvation must be as universal as the fall.


I saw this that day on the tram-car on Market Street, Philadelphia , not only thought it, or hoped it, but knew it. It was a Divine fact. And from that moment I have never had a questioning thought as to the final destiny of the human race. The how and the when I could not see; but the one essential fact was all I needed, somewhere and somehow God was going to make everything right for all the creatures He had created. My heart was at rest about it forever.? ~Hannah W. Smith (My unexpected discovery)
