Wednesday – April 3rd – Revelation 22:5 -----
22:5) And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
THE HIGHEST REWARD FOR A PERSON’S TOIL IS NOT WHAT HE OR SHE GETS FOR IT BUT RATHER WHAT HE OR SHE BECOMES BY IT.*
Good Wednesday to you! It is not to late too sign up your little ones for the SunRise Holy Communion Class that begins this coming Sunday morning (4/7) at 9:45am. This four-week class, open to 2nd-4th grade students, will help to spiritually prepare their heart for sharing in the sacrament of Holy Communion. The class will culminate on Sunday April 28th as the children will celebrate Holy Communion as part of the 9:45am worship service. You can register your child through the SunRise “Events” page on either the website or app.
In our pick verse today John’s ongoing description of New Jerusalem now includes a rather challenging concept for us to imagine from within our current limited earth-based human perspective. In this brief passing statement, John identifies that New Jerusalem with be void of nighttime. No more night emphatically indicates the complete end of all darkness that sin and evil brought into the world. This can only happen because of the direct personal presence of the Lord God who will give the city divine light. Just as Jesus is the “light of the world” during this present age, so in eternity He is the everlasting light. The conclusion of this verse is a reminder that the citizens of Heaven will rule with Christ – through and by our shared inheritance of the Kingdom – for ever and ever. The concept of this new order of things goes way beyond human logic of what we can easily embrace or comprehend. We must trust that God has the perfect plan in mind – both for us now and in eternity.
Blessings
