Hello Everyone,
Our Pastors e-votion will be centered around Revelation 21. Read with me verses1-6.
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
Something to think about:
Human history began in paradise…the Garden of Eden. And it will all end in paradise…the New Jerusalem.v. 5 sums up the last 2 chapter’s of Revelation…”all things will be new”and v. 6 “it is done” What began in Genesis is brought to completion in Relation.
