Tuesday’s Thoughts on Scripture comes from Revelation chapter 21, verse 4: he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.” (NRSV)
Is there a more hopeful verse than this: God will assure that death will be no more?!?! No more death - that is almost impossible to imagine.
It does not take long listening to the news to know that death comes every single day. And the older we get, the more death seems to draw close when we have to say the final goodbye to family and friends. God knows this - God knows that death breaks hearts and causes pain. And God grieves with us.
But one day, all that will be done. The temporary way of life we know here on earth will come to an end and forever will become the new way. Forever with God. Forever in the relationship of love. Forever without mourning and crying and pain. Forever.
Could there be greater love than this!?
Blessings. And prayers.
