Bible Reading: Revelation 21:1-8
Key Verse: Verse 1 - “.And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.”
Key Words: a new heaven and a new earth
From the book of
Revelation you read about six new things.
There will be a new Jerusalem (Revelation
21:2), a new song (Revelation 14:3),
a new name (Revelation 3:12), and new
things (Revelation 21:5). It is the new heaven and the new earth that
John primarily focuses on from Revelation 21:1 through 22:21. John not only tells us what will be in the
new heaven and new earth, he also tells us what will not be there. He lists for us six things that will be
missing.
1. There will be no more sin
(Revelation 21:27). Sin brought the terrible condition that we
see before us today. Praise God - there will be no more sin!
2. There will be no more curse
(Revelation 22:3). Time and space will not allow us to cover the
subject, but to God be the glory -
there will be no more curse!
3. There will be no more sorrow
(Revelation 21:4). The word sorrow
gives the idea of “mourning, being of a heavy heart.” Hallelujah
– no more sorrow!
4. There will be no more pain
(Revelation 21:4). In that eternal home there will be no more
sickness, no need for hospitals, no more need for health insurance or Medicaid,
no more heart disease or cancer – praise
God!!
5. There will be no more separation
(Revelation 22:4). We will be with the Lord forever.
Amen and amen!
6.
There will be no more darkness (Revelation 22:5).
As you read about our new home, does it not
make you want to say, “To God be the
glory!”? Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
What to do:
✞Live everyday with
eternity in mind.
✞We
have a reason to be joyful. Show it!!
✞Always
remember this old earth is not our home, we are just passing through.
