He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. For the old order of things has passed away. Revelations 21:4
This is one of the most precious and hope filled verses from one of the most profound passages in all of scripture, for it describes the social dynamic of The Father’s House, eternal life. All things will be made new beginning when the Father, the Lord God, takes your face in His gentle, kind and loving hands and wipes away your tears.
The earth and all of its human, carnal sorrows will cease to exist because Jesus invalidated the power of sin when He died and rose from death’s darkness to bring love’s radiant light. God’s presence will be our solace and our destiny won’t be what’s on the stone in the cemetery, but an eternal, unspeakable joy. Mourning won’t be our thought, pain won’t be our experience and crying won’t be heard because God’s Holiness fills the House with many rooms. (John 14:2-4)
This Home we hope for with assurance and peace must press each believer to a proactive lifestyle for those who are hopeless and lost. The most logical place to begin is among the people we share our air with. Each one, touch one and before long the whole world will be reached.
Love,
