Bible Reading
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:1-4 ESV)
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.
