The Eternal City

8 May 2024

God has promised to make the earth anew:Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness” 2 Peter 3:13,  and, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind” Isaiah 65:17.  The prophet heard the sound of the music coming from the city of God – music and songs such as human ears have never heard, so glorious and beautiful.

In the earth made new, the redeemed will be occupied with the same pleasures that brought such perfect happiness and joy to Adam and Eve.  There the loftiest enterprises will be embarked on, the highest ambitions will be attained; there will be new wonders that will amaze; glorious new purposes of study will invigorate mind and body.

For now, we still live on the earth with all its sin and woe; but soon Jesus Christ will come as He has promised to deliver us.  With the eye of faith contemplate the beautiful earth made new.  Look up and let your faith continually increase and guide you along the path that leads through the glittering gates of the eternal city and into the vast, boundless and glorious future that awaits those that love God.

  1. It is reassuring that our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing.

  2. Thank you this ministered to my spirit. Thank you Jesus for your grace and mercy; you have blessed me even when I didn’t deserve it.

  3. Wow you have a gift for writing the good news. I really like the way you wrote that. It in a way shows the challanges of living in Christ day by day. And your reference for God is inspirational.
