God Wipes Away Every Tear

Passage: Revelation 21:1-8

Waiting is hard. Waiting in vain is unbearable, and suffering adds unbelievable pressure. We can be tempted to think we are waiting in vain and can be tempted to take the sinful short cuts. We need to have the right perspective as we wait for the end. (Romans 8:19)


Imagine the joys of heaven. Put them on a scale and compare it to the suffering you experience today. Suffering isn’t small, but the eternal glory is huge!! Satan wants to deceive us about heaven. He wants us to believe that this life is our only chance for happiness. Here, God pulls back the curtains to see a new Heaven and a new earth to give us hope in our suffering.


In a world that is groaning under the burden of sin, how can we hold fast to hope?
