Care for Creation: Restoration

Dear friends,

Our theme in this video will centre around the care of God’s creation … prompted by the marking on June 5th of the UN world environment day.

Humans have a particular place in creation and that is to care for it … that we have a responsibility to be good stewards … so generations can enjoy the blessings of this wonderful planet and universe.

And we as Christians … who take this stuff seriously have a role in this …

The UN website for World Environment Day speaks about “restoration” and I think that resonates with plenty of Biblical concepts such as healing, renewal, new beginnings …

The website includes this statement which I found helpful:

We cannot turn back time. But we can grow trees, green our cities, rewild our gardens, change our diets and clean up rivers and coasts. (World Environment Day)

For a little more of a deep dive into the Genesis readings for today, you might like to take a look at this video from “The Bible Project”:
