Missing from the Holy City

The Sovereignty of God
The Alpha and Omega

I See A New Jerusalem

Revelation 21:1-5  The Message

Everything New

21 I saw Heaven and earth new-created. Gone the first Heaven, gone the first earth, gone the sea.

² I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband.
^3-4 I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: “Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They’re his people, he’s their God. He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.” 

For Reflection

In New Jerusalem God protects us from those who would threaten and diminish our lives.  God promises a salvation, here and now, free from anxieties and free from fear.  With angels standing guard at the gates, we are secure.  God lives with us.  There is no need for each to fend for oneself.

Pray

for the courage to live as though you were cradled in the loving arms of God.  Pray that your commitment to live in New Jerusalem is strong and everlasting.  Pray that you will adjust to this new life in the hollow of God's hand and live as God has intended you to live.
