A New Heaven and a New Earth
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”    Revelations 21:1-5
 
This reading is the telling of the second coming of Christ to claim His Kingdom. The dead are now alive in Christ – there will be no more sorrows, no more pain , no more mourning, because what was before is no longer, it is declared by the LORD !
 
Let us pray please : Holy and Only God, we love You. Simple to say, but we don’t say it enough. It is because of Your great love for the world that can look forward to Christ once again reclaiming His Kingdom for ever !!  All will be made anew, the old will be put away. Praise His Holy Name !!    Amen.
 
Yours in Christ , Rollie
