Our world is broken, paradise isn’t coming now, but Jesus’ empty tomb guarantees a better future.

There’s more than this life. God is doing more then what you see in front of you. We can’t spend our life scurrying about thinking that this vapor of a life is all that matters. Jesus dying, raising, and rising guarantees that there is more.

Consider Revelation 21:1–7

[1] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. [2] And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. [4] He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
[5] And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” [6] And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. [7] The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

Prayer Focus:

ADORE God for His perfection
CONFESS your shortsightedness in focusing so easily on what’s happening in this life
THANK God that He has a plan and a vision that extends beyond this life
SUPPLICATE (Beg) God for eyes to see that this life, while wonderful is temporary.
SILENTLY reflect on Revelation 21.1-7
