REUNION

Revelation 21: 1 – 5


1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Boy Howdy!
I remember as a kid, my father's side of the family decided to have a reunion. It took months to plan and setting up the back yard was an undertaking that I was glad only happened once. My father wanted everything to be perfect, after all, it was his family that was coming together for a celebration, a coming together, and nothing like this had ever been done before in the family, as far as anybody could remember.
Relationships were strengthened and old grudges and feuds were forgiven and forgotten.
It really was a day to remember.
Thinking back at all the work it took to pull this reunion off, it just blows me away to think of what the celebration will be like, and the work that is to be done in putting together a New heaven and New earth.
Can you just imagine what our relationship with God will be at that time?
How about the fact that all grudges, all feuds, and all sins will be forgiven.
Boy howdy! What a day that will be!
And, it will not be just for one day. No, this celebration, this new heaven and new earth, this reunion, and all that forgiveness will be forever!
