Redeeming The Seemingly Unredemptable

This chapter deals with the redemption of Earth. How we can work towards making things unholy holy. Redeeming contemptible things for use in God's kingdom. Christian rock is an example of this. People used to think that rock was the music of the devil. People have gone as far to say that the world itself could be redeemed. Even to a point comparable to the Garden of Eden.

This comes back to my point on total depravity. We must have something redeemable in us. The world must have something redeemable in it. It is foolish to write off people and the world as evil. There is so much we can do through and with the power of Christ. It the Garden of Eden remained on Earth even after Adam and Eve sinned. So if there is anything good on Earth that is it. I think there must be more. If the Earth retained something good through the process of the Fall, why not us? It is almost a metaphor. Our bodies are fallen but there is a patch or a memory of good in them.

We can reach that goodness and expand it like spring coming again to Narnia. Our sins are like the White Witch turning the good animals to stone, slowly eradicating the good in us. But there were a few good ones left who were hiding and resisting. What we needed was Aslan. He is like Christ coming to us. We need him to disband the evil but there has to be someone willing to let Him in. We would never accept Christ's forgiveness if we were totally evil. What I'm trying to say is that the world may have a lot of evil in it but we need to put that aside. We need to look for the good so that we can nurture it through love.
