I have been waiting for 20 chapters to read about the glory and splendor in today's reading. Finally! The balm I have been waiting for to heal the fears I have incurred the past couple of weeks! This is what being a child of God really means. This is what we have to gain when we turn our backs on sin!
vs 3 ... I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: "Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They're his people, he's their God.
vs 4 ... He'll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good - tears gone, crying gone, pain gone - all the first order of things gone.
vs 6 ... Then he said, "It's happened. I'm A to Z. I'm the Beginning, I'm the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty.
vs 7 ... Conquerers inherit all this. I'll be God to them, they'll be sons and daughters to me.
Then the description of the New Jarusalem starts ... and there is just too much - it is too overwhelming! Streets paved with gold and the pearly gates are only the beginning.
vs 23 ... The City doesn't need sun or moon for light. God's Glory is its light, the Lamb its lamp!
An eternity basking in the Light of the Holy God, thanking Him for making me, praising Him for loving me ... despite the fact that I have been so preoccupied with loving ME!
Yes ... I will say that is certainly worth turning my back on sin.
