Revelation 21 Then 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.2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He 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.” 5 He 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.”
That's something that is hard to find these days: trustworthy and true. They are words used to describe our words, as well as those things that are made by a craftsman. God's New Creation will be that way: Hand made by God in heaven, bringing together heaven and earth once again. We long for the absence of all these things: death, decay, crying and pain. But may we also long for Who is there: The Lord's dwelling and rule and reign. Trustworthy and true: take it to the bank; take it to eternity.
