“No More Tears, No More Death”

Revelation 21: 4: “And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” How comforting it would have been for those parents of the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem, whom we remember today, if this scripture had already been written then! But it is with us today, to comfort and encourage us all the more. Whomever you have lost, whatever the source of your mourning, tears, or pain, know that it is all only temporary. He Who sits on the throne is making all things new! (v. 5)
