The Inaugeration

From Unfashionable by Tullian Tchividjian

All of Jesus's words and deeds demonstrated that God's reign had invaded
this fallen world to make all things new. A new day had dawned. When Jesus cast
out demons, he did so to show God's power over evil. When he healed the sick and
raised the dead, he showed that with the arrival of God's kingdom came
redemption and cleansing, healing and forgiveness. New life was given; health
was restored. In the imagery of C.S. Lewis's Narnia, the grip of an unending
winter was finally broken. The inauguration of God's kingdom through Jesus began
the great reversal--repealing the curse of sin and death, ensuring that God had
begun the process of renewing all things.
