Good News
He showed me a pure river of water of life. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse. There shall be no night there. They shall reign forever and ever.
Revelation 22:1-5
We can feel we are living in a world of confusion and chaos at times. The news can leave us feeling hopeless, with so many stories dominated by hostility and violence. We hear accounts of people suffering from poverty. Lives are being disrupted by sickness and injustice. Families are torn by selfishness and sin. Our problems – and the problems in the world around us – can appear overwhelming, and darkness seems to triumph.
At times like these, the words of Revelation put everything in perspective. Here, God provided a picture of the eternal life that awaits all who are born again. John the Revelator was shown a pure river. It was perfectly clear, flowing with healing and abundant fruitfulness. Here, there was no night, and there were no problems.
Most of all, it was a place where God reigns supreme all the time, where we can “see His face” and where He gives light. There, in this perfect world, we “shall reign forever and ever.”
If you are born again, turn away from the world’s problems, and focus on this glorious picture. No matter what stories fill the news, you have every reason to rejoice. Remember that God has a plan for you established before the beginning of time.
This wonderful place awaits you. Being in God’s presence forever will wipe away all the sorrows of our present circumstances. Renew your faith in His promises. Focus on God and His news mentioned in the bible rather than hearing and focusing on the news of this world which only causes fear, confusion and anguish. Celebrate the Good News in the Word of God today and eagerly await to receive this promise of eternal life. If you lose this life, that is not stick on to wordly things, bible says you will gain a greater much greater life for eternity.
