ReCreatable
begins with the story of a glass baking dish, the delectable aroma of
tantalizing brownies, and an unseen defect that turns the promise of something
delicious into a minor disaster, leaving glass fragments and brownies
irretrievably intermingled. Both the dish and brownies are irrevocably lost.
The implications for us are inescapable: created by God to reflect his glory
and for his pleasure, we have been broken by sin to the point that we are
completely useless to accomplish the purpose for which we were made. But, unlike
the shattered brownie dish that gets discarded as worthless, God takes the
shards of our lives and does the miraculous. He does not simply fit us back
together. He takes those splinters of our destruction and uses them to re-create
us: complete, restored, redeemed, and fitted to do and be all that he ever
intended for us.
ReCreatable leads us progressively through the impact of the
creative genius of God in our lives. It points us to the reality of restored
relationships, the resurrection of our role as true reflectors of God’s glory,
and the revolutionary life that can be ours when we learn to be true
disciples—re-created to live well for God.
