O What A Day That Will Be!!!

TOPIC: Eternity

SCRIPTURE: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband." (Rev. 21:1-2)

OBSERVATION: My Life Application Study Bible has this to say about Rev. 21:1-2. "The earth as we know it will not last forever, but after God's great judgment, he will create a new earth. God had also promised Isaiah that he would create a new and eternal earth. The sea in John's time was viewed as dangerous and changeable. It was also the source of the beast. God and his followers will be united to live forever there."


APPLICATION: Here are some other things that we know about our future dwelling place.
It is a place prepared for His children
It is a place unlimited by physical properties
We will have new bodies
We will experience God in a new way
We will have new emotions
We will never again experience death

Reading these things reminds me of a song
It goes like this...

"O
What a day
That will be
When my Jesus
I shall see
when I look
upon His face
You know the One
who saved me
by His grace
What a day
that will be
when my Jesus
I shall see
What a day
Glorious day
That will be"

O What A Day That Will Be

Question:
Will you be there?


PRAYER: Father God, thank thank thank for this wonderful promise. That you are going to make all things new. O, my spirit can hardly wait.
