The Future's So Bright I Won't Need Shades...

"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it." -Revelation 21:23,24

Throughout scripture God makes mention of His ultimate desire of having a people uniquely His (Ezekiel 37:27, for instance, is fulfilled in Revelation 21:3) and it's so beautiful and comforting to know He's able to make that happen. In fact, it's what He's up to right now! Imagine living on an Earth where the sun's light is dwarfed by our King's presence. A worship service where there's no temple or church because God is present and approachable. The worship band is all of us, joined with the angels, singing praises to Him as we gaze upon His countenance! This is all just so amazing, so absolutely astounding - and so completely like Jesus!
