Bible Reading
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. And the sea no longer existed. And I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And from the throne I heard a loud voice that said, “Look! God’s dwelling is with people. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain, because the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:1-4 EHV)
Hymn ELH 542:1,3 In Heaven Above
In heaven above, in heaven above,
Where God our Father dwells:
How boundless there the blessedness!
No tongue its greatness tells.
There face to face, and full and free,
The everliving God we see,
Our God, the Lord of hosts!
In heaven above, in heaven above,
No tears of pain are shed,
For nothing there can fade or die;
Life’s fullness round is spread,
And like an ocean, joy overflows,
And with immortal mercy glows
Our God, the Lord of hosts!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of eternal life for all who trust in Christ alone as their Savior. In His name I pray. Amen.
