Focus on God’s Goodness-Heaven
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Revelation 22: 3 to 5.
This passage describes what heaven is like for God’s people:
“No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”
This is a picture of healing. Sin’s curse will be removed from the human experience. No longer will death grieve God’s people. No longer will there be pain or sickness or crying. God is making everything new for those who love Him. Heaven will be a place of joyful praise and perfect peace in the presence of God. It will be a place that is full of life, sustained by God’s grace. It will be a place that sparkles with beauty.
Heaven reveals the Goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
