"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, ..."
Revelation 21:4
Many tears have fallen from the eyes of God's children. The promise from scripture that goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives has proven true. However, in this journey, there has been cause for tears. Trials and pain have also accompanied us through the pilgrimage of faith. Mercy was new every morning, and grace proved sufficient for all these trials, but tears were present.
The promise of comfort in this life from the God of all comfort comes with the coming promise of no tears. The time will come when the last tear of life is wiped away. Many tears are present with those as their loved ones pass from this life to the next, but those tears will wiped away with the coming of the Lord. The Lord will make all things new, and in that moment, the tears of sorrow, pain, and fear will cease. The only tears that will appear will be ones of joy and relief.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
