Meditate as you walk.
I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord
God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or
moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The
nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city
in all their glory. Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because
there is no night there. And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into
the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices
shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the
Lamb's Book of Life. Revelation 21:22-27
John is giving us a glimpse of Heaven—and it is glorious. No sun or moon because the light IS the glory of God…and it is from Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. The precious Lamb of God. Does that mean there is no night…only day? Maybe so.

| No Moon in Heaven. No night? We will just have to wait and see. |
Imagine people from every nation walking in that illumination. Purity is at the very heart of the city—the New Jerusalem. No evil. No idolatry. No dishonesty. Everything just as God had originally created it. Pure and undefiled. Look into that Lamb’s Book of Life. I’m trusting the Lord that my name is there. I believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Is your name there?
Prayer ~ Lord, it is exciting that You have given us a glimpse of Heaven, just to whet our appetites. I ask that as people read this passage that if they don’t know You as their personal savior, that they would seek You with all of their heart and find that relationship that You and they desire. Thank You.
Verse
of Salvation ~ Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices
shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the
Lamb's Book of Life. Revelation 21:27
What a great promise of salvation. Those whose names are written in the Lamb’s
Book of Life…will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. That’s where I want to
be someday. Are you going to be there?
Two of my seven grandchildren are lefties—so
I’m often aware of the things like using right-handed scissors and golf clubs,
that they must endure. Go lefties. Lefties are frequently are smarter in math
and music. I hope so.
