From the Family Devotional Bible, I quote a message of hope that
comes as a ray of light, in a world that seems intent on being consumed by the
darkness.
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth." - Revelation
21:1
We sense it at rare moments. We see the good, the beauty in new
crops, in flowers, in sunshine, and even in rain. This world may be full of pollution, war, crime and hate. But
inside us, all of us, linger remnants that remind us of what the world could be
like - of what we could be like. That
perfect world is not merely a dream; it will come true.
The Bible began, back in Genesis, with a tragic defeat, when
humanity, made in the image of God, rebelled. It ends with a reunion - a
marriage, Revelation calls it. There is a happy ending after all.
