Saturday, December 30th: Zechariah 13-14; Revelation 21 ~ Tammy

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Zechariah 13-14; Revelation 21

Revelation 21:1-4 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bridebeautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
What a beautiful glimpse of eternity we get in this passage.

There will be a new heaven and a new earth - PERFECT versions!

God will be with us.  We got a glimpse of this when Jesus walked the earth, but now we will all be able to experience it, and as complete redeemed, sinless people.

There will be no more sorrow or mourning or death or tears - what a hope, what a promise!

Revelation 21:27
Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

An important reminder to me to ask for forgiveness for all my sins daily, I have done wrong and need God's forgiveness which washes away my sin.
