Episode Description: Psalm 85:10-13 points not just BACKWARD to the cross but FORWARD to Christ's return! "Truth shall spring out of the earth"—fulfilled when Jesus rose, but also prophetic of end-times when creation itself will be delivered from corruption. Cross STARTED reconciliation; Christ's return will COMPLETE it. Romans 8:19-22: Creation groaning, waiting for liberation. We live between "already" (mercy/truth met at cross) and "not yet" (creation fully restored). Christ's resurrection GUARANTEES both our salvation AND creation's restoration. Living with urgent hope—Christ is returning to complete what He started!
