There Will Be
No More Night
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as
crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of
the street of the city. On either side of the river is the
tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month;
and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Nothing
accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb
will be in it, and his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and
his name will be on their foreheads. And there will be no more night; they need
no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will
reign forever and ever.
Revelation 22:1-5
How grateful we are for the wonders of the world that God has
created for us as our home in time. Though blighted with evil and pain, the
earth is full of beautiful things that dazzle our senses. Early some mid-summer
morning, take a walk in a flower garden and absorb its beauty and fragrance.
Then think about all of its loveliness – a faint glimpse of heaven’s glory.
Our Savior assured His disciples that He would return to His Father
and His eternal home to prepare a place for those who simply believe. It will
be a place of such splendor that nothing on earth can compare with it.
The only requirement for entry to heaven is personal faith in
Christ and His atoning death and resurrection. Trust in His sacrifice, and one
day He will welcome you into that glorious beauty and joy.
Christ opens the door of heaven
to those who open their heart to Him.
