“And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.” – Revelation 21:22-23
No matter how dark the present may feel, an infinitely brighter day is coming for those in Jesus Christ! One day, Christ will return and creation will be renewed. The curse upon Creation will be reversed and sin will no longer separate us from our Creator. We will see God the Father and Jesus the Son face to face. We will enjoy their visible presence night and day! Their radiant glory will be so overwhelming that we won’t even need a sun, moon, or other lights!
We won’t even need special places for worshiping God because every place will be in His presence and every place will be perfect for worshiping. When that day comes, there will be no evil, no suffering, no illness, no poverty, no pain, no injustice, no cruelty, and no death. Brighter days are coming!
If this sounds good to you, please remember this – these brighter days are only for those who’ve been made clean in the eyes of God through faith in His Son, Jesus. Everyone is welcome to God’s party but they must wear the clothes He’s given them access to – robes washed in the blood of Jesus. Let this truth encourage you if Jesus is your Lord, Let it lead you to trust in Him if He isn’t. Let it lend urgency to your efforts to share the good news of Jesus Christ with people you know who haven’t yet believed. #FollowJesus
