God is in the recycling business.

Beautiful things.

This song reminds us that God is in the recycling business. This song is based in part on 2 Corinthians 5:15-17:

"And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation."

Christ through is death offers to make all of us new. We should never look at anyone (including ourselves) according to the flesh, that is from just a human perspective. Rather we see everyone from the perspective of what Christ can do in them. Our sin, hurts, and failures may make us feel like worn out old junk. But Christ sees us as his artistic masterpiece.
