Revelation 21:4 Meaning
Grief is undoubtedly one of the most painful experiences that we can ever endure. It’s a universal experience, something we all must face at some point in our lives. Though it’s not something we desire, it’s an inevitable part of life’s journey. We lose loved ones, and in their absence, we grieve deeply.
However, in Revelation 21:4, we find a powerful promise. John describes a vision of a new heaven and a new earth, where God will dwell among His people. He assures us that God will wipe away every tear, and death will be no more.
Now, imagine a world where death does not exist. A place where you never have to face the heartache of losing a loved one again. All those you cherish are with you, forever. Isn’t it comforting to know that one day, Christ will return, bringing with Him this new world, a world of eternal joy and restoration?
