No human being can restore the garden. Only God can do that, and he does it by becoming one of us, taking on the curse of sin itself—death. By dying for us he destroys death and is raised to new life. His resurrection is a second act of creation, a new beginning that will be culminated in his coming again to reestablish the garden, to bring humanity into his own communal life, and to rule over creation forever. — Robert Webber, Ancient-Future Worship: Proclaiming and Enacting God’s Narrative (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2008), 35.
