God entrusted our first parents wth the entire creation in the Garden. How did that trust go? Read Genesis 3. But this failure to work and protect the Garden opened up the promise of the Gospel: God would send a Savior, not Just for mankind, but for all of creation! Jesus is that promised Savior. As we have been baptized into Christ, we also have been entrusted with a new perspective on steward-ship of creation. We steward the world in a way that reflects God’s love for it. If Jesus was willing to come to redeem creation, of which we are a part, then we have also been redeemed by Jesus to care for creation in a manner that reflects the love that God has for it. This means that we care for creation not out of fear that if we don’t, we will all die, but out of faith in Jesus Christ. He loved the world enough to die for it. We steward creation in such a way that it points others to Jesus!

God Bless you all!
