he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more; mourning
and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away.
Revelation 21:4
What’s wrong with the world?
I googled it. I found a very impolite site. Here’s the polite version of their “What’s wrong with the world?”
· Popcorn stuck in your teeth.
· Slow cars in the passing lane.
· Stepping on a Lego.
· A half loaf of bread that’s already moldy.
· Vomiting, war, and PMS.
My list, when I was asked, was: sin, death, pain …
And then I stopped. Revelation 21:4!
· No more tears and grief and sadness.
· No more mourning, crying, and pain.
· No more death.
· Heaven promises that sin will be no more too.
Wait. Read that last one again. When will ALL the things that are truly and woefully wrong with the world be solved? In heaven!
That’s what we’re asking for when we pray, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” We want heaven’s blessings now!
· Therefore, we confidently ask for healing – because that’s something in heaven that we want on earth.
· We ask for peace – because that’s something in heaven that we want on earth.
· We ask for true justice – because that’s something in heaven that we want on earth.
· We yearn for truth – because that’s something in heaven that we want on earth.
In Christ’s Love,
a guy who wants
the kingdom to come
on earth as it is in heaven
