According to God’s Word, those three words in the Lesson Title describe part of the beauty of our future, dear Christian friends.
The Apostle John writes … “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was NO MORE SEA.” Revelation 21:1
Then immediately John saw … “The holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
If literally “no more sea,” what will be the water supply for God’s future universe?
Revelation 22:1 gives this information. “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”
And, as far as we are told, this is the only Source of water available. For all God’s “new creation!”
Do not worry! God is “Scientist” enough to make all this work! Of that fact I have no doubt.
Now, why have my mind and my heart and my prayers taken me to this Verse today?
Because, born out of the warm (ninety degree plus) water of the Sea, a category four hurricane is devastating part of the Country where God allows me to preach His Word. In Revival Meetings, ministering to and working with some of the sweetest folks on earth!
Sadness for sure, at the damage to be done. But a note of rejoicing as well, of victory. We Believers in Jesus are someday to live in an environment that will spawn no killer storms! No storms, period!
No sin as well!
Eternity, with our Saviour!
I’ll guarantee you, on the authority of God’s Word … “Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5
Yes, Jesus is coming!
The Prophet Malachi calls Jesus, our Lord, by a unique Name in the following Verse … “Unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.” The “Sun of Righteousness!” Malachi 4:2
I’m positive, no cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, no bad weather (all a result of sin no doubt) when His “Sunshine” blankets the world!
What a Saviour!
