Revelation 21
The new city coming down from the sky, bedazzled like an 8 year old's Barbie doll. A perfect city guarded by 12 angels who will keep out all things evil. Where is the fun in that?
It is the earlier words in verses 3 and 4 that we cherish whenever something just goes horribly wrong in life. A natural disaster, a human disaster or an unexpected tragedy. In the new world, God will be with us and among us and we will not know pain or sorrow. These words give comfort because sometimes a pain is too deep to deal with (presently/immediately) in this world. Knowing that there is healing in the future allows us to be present.

After Revelations, my vote is for something a little more basic and straightforward....we haven't done Corinthians, yet, have we?

I think it would be interesting to look at Paul's letters, starting with 1st and then 2nd Corinthians.
ReplyDeleteIf we are starting Friday, I will lead off and post something Thursday night for Friday.
