Heaven

I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth were completely gone. There was no longer any sea.

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem. It was coming down out of heaven from God. It was prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said, "Now God makes his home with people. He will live with them. They will be his people. And God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or sadness. There will be no more crying or pain. Things are no longer the way they used to be."

Revelation 21:1-4

Someday we who claim the name of Jesus will go to that place where death does not trouble us, where sorrow can’t touch us, and where crying is unknown. It is a place where there is no more pain and where a loving Father promises to take care of us.

The life we have here isn’t all there is. There is a far, far better place that Jesus is preparing for those who love Him.

Heaven – no pain, no night, no death, no tears.
