Filled with anticipation! I can't read Revelation 21 without getting excited. Think about it. A new heaven, a new earth and a new Jerusalem--all for us as believers and followers of Christ. Now I've read this chapter quite a few times, but this time I tried to take it all in in "big picture mode" and then I went back and focused on all the things I would consider benefits. There were so many, but the one that took hold of me was that God is now living with us. How awesome will that be? Think about it. No more separation, just forever fellowship with God. It's almost too much to get my head around but I can't wait.
So what grabbed you out of Revelation 21? Was there a particular benefit (or maybe two) that caused you to pause in anticipation? Tell us about it. What better thing to talk about than spending eternity with the Savior. Tami W.
I'm with you Tami. I can't wait either. All the struggles will be over. I know it sounds really silly, but just the idea of not having to get up to go to work every morning. Well, of course being with God and family and loved ones who are already there.
vs 5-7 made me go back and read it...wow i will be called a son of God, sorry for being selfish we will be called sons of God....wow
On august 29 i burried my mother and this verse assured me that she will be safe and happy in the in the new Jerusalem. Thank you for pointing it out straight.
