A few days ago was the day that many of us complain about because of the lost hour of sleep. As we have adjusted biologically to the new schedule, we debate with ourselves and others the merits of making this change in time twice a year.
As I was waking up at what used to be 5:40am EST, my mind drifted to a time when there will be no time and to a place that will be forever different from what we know and experience now. Here's the opening passage of my favorite depiction of eternity in Heaven:
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
Revelation 21:1-7 NKJV
At your leisure, finish the rest of the chapter. Then continue on to the final chapter of God's Word in Revelation 22. What a glorious day that will be! A day that really won't be a "day" because there will be no end and no need to change the clock! The things of this world will pass away and only that which glorifies God will exist and The Redeemed will be part of it all!!
Looking forward to being there with you!
