Revelation 21:4 - It Is Not Yet The End!
Revelation 21:4 (NLT) He[God] will wipe
every tear from their eyes, and there will be no
more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these
things are gone forever.
COMMENTARY PEARL
One of my favorite movie lines comes from
the The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Patel is a
young man struggling to revive his familys
dilapidated hotel. Whenever something doesnt work out
or a problem arises, he tells the other person,
In India, we have a saying: Everything will
be all right in the end. So if it is not all
right, it is not yet the end. Some people
scoff at what they see as Patels blind
optimism, but guess what? By the end of the movie,
things do turn out all right.
Maybe I need to hear Patels favorite
saying every day. Dont get me wrong - I
understand that we live in a world broken by sin. I
know that Jesus told us to expect troubles in
this earthly life. Yet still I look for the
fairy-tale ending. I grow impatient waiting for loose
ends to be wrapped up in a neat, tidy way. I want
to see wrongs righted, broken relationships
restored, and evil conquered by good.
Although there are many things I dont
fully understand in the book of Revelation, Im
so glad it lets us know that one day well
witness the ending we long for. Jesus will lead an
army in the final battle to eradicate evil. All
things will be made new. We will live with Jesus
forever and no longer experience suffering,
heartache, pain, or death. In the meantime, when a
problem arises, or things dont seem to be working
out, I need to remember thats because .
it is not yet the end. by Dianne Neal

Faith Step: What is discouraging you
today? Remind yourself that all earthly things will
pass away. Thank Jesus that one day He will make
all things right. [Mornings With Jesus 2020
