Scripture:
“He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.” Revelation 21:4 CEV
Observation:
As John is finishing the book of Revelation and recording everything he has seen, He states that God will wipe away all tears from the eyes of His people and there will be NO MORE death, suffering, crying, or pain.. He continues by saying, “These things of the past are gone forever.” When we enter the New Jerusalem, there will be NO MORE sin, sickness, disease, crying, suffering, or pain. They will be gone forever.
Application:
We have to endure things like they are here on a sin-affected earth for a season, but one day, if we serve the Lord well in our generation, we will live once again in a place where there is no crying, suffering, pain, war, famine, pestilence, etc. For God’s people, this world of suffering we are in now is not permanent. We must live eternity focused lives because, no matter how bad it gets here, one day it will all be NO MORE.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, You are worthy of all my praise and worship. You are incredible and have great things planned for Your people. I can’t wait until the NO MORE comes. I can’t wait till there’s NO MORE sickness, sin, pain, suffering, disease, etc. Thank You for giving us hope that this evil world is not our permanent dwelling place. Thank You for the blessed hope. I can’t wait to see that day!
Yours Forever,
Jeff
