Time before Advent: "not lost but fulfilled"

From the reading for the Friday before Advent Sunday - taken from Michael Ramsey's The Glory of God and the Transfiguration of Christ - provided in Celebrating The Seasons:


The end is a new creation, forged from out of the broken pieces of a fallen creation, filled with glory and giving glory to its Maker ... the hope of the resurrection of the body, when the body of our low estate is transformed into the body of Christ's glory, is the reminder of our kinship with the created world which the God of glory will redeem in a new world wherein the old is not lost but fulfilled.
