Today's reading gives us a glimpse into life in Heaven after the Devil has been defeated and cast into the burning lake along with all evil. So Heaven will be a place where there is no evil, no sorrow, no weeping, and no death.
Can you imagine Creation restored to the perfection of the original garden of Eden? A place where Russia doesn’t invade a peaceful neighbor. A place where some misguided 18-year-old doesn't take a rifle into a grocery store and randomly shoot to death 10 people.
God has prepared such a place for all who trust in the salvation prepared for us through the innocent suffering, death, resurrection and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. Join us as we hear God’s promise to make all things new!
