Great was the work of creation, but greater was the work of redemption. So the glory of the redemption was greater than the glory of the creation. Great wisdom was seen in making us, but more miraculous wisdom in saving us. Great power was seen in bringing us out of nothing, but greater power in helping us when we were worse than nothing. It cost more to redeem than to create us. In creation it was but speaking a word; in redeeming there was shedding of blood. Creation was the work of Gods finger, redemption was the work of his arm. In creation, God gave us ourselves; in the redemption, he gave us himself. By creation, we have life in Adam; by redemption, we have life in Christ. By creation, we had a right to an earthly paradise; by redemption, we have a title to a heavenly kingdom.
