A Tearless World

Revelation 21:1-8 (KJV)

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

VERY BRIEFLY WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD AND THE GUIDIANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS

I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT

(A TEARLESS WORLD )

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

THE WRITER OF OUR TEXT IS APOSTLE JOHN WHO IS KNOWN AS THE BELOVED DICIPLE

JOHN HAS BEEN SENTENCE INTO EXILE ON A ISLAND CALL PATMOS

THE HOLY WRIT REVEALS TO US THAT HE WAS`NT THERE ALONE

IT ALSO REVEALS TO US THAT HE WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE LORD`S DAY

AND AIN`T IT GOOD NEWS TO KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE AS BELIEVERS IN CHRIST

THAT GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US

JOHN HERE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

TESTIFIES TO WHAT HE HAS SEEN AND TO WHAT HE HAS HEARD

AND ALL THROUGH OUT THE BOOK OF REVELATION JOHN IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT SEEING SOMETHING AND HEARING A VOICE

IN THE TEXT HE SAYS I SAW A NEW HEAVEN

AND I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OUT OF HEAVEN

JOHN SAYS I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH

HE LETS US KNOW THAT THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH HAS PASS AWAY AND GOD WILL MAKE ALL THINGS KNEW

HE SAYS I SAW A HOLY CITY---THE NEW JERUSALEM COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN

AND HE LOOK AND SAW A BLESS CITY

BECAUSE ANYTHING THAT GOD GIVES IS A BLESSING

HE ALSO SAYS IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL CITY PREPARED FOR A BRIDE ADORN FOR HER HUSBAND

AND HE HEARD A VOICE THAT SAID THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL JOHN HEARD

FOR HE SAYS AND GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM THERE EYES

JOHN LETS US KNOW THAT THERE IS A TEARLESS WORLD COMING

A WORLD WHERE THERE WON`T BE ANYMORE CRYING

A WORLD THERE WON`T BE ANYMORE WEEPING

AND YOU DO KNOW IN THIS OLD SINFUL WORLD WE HAVE TO CRY SOMETIMES

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

JOHN WAS AQUAINTED WITH CRYING

FOR JOHN FOUND HIMSELF CRYING ON MANY OCCASIONS

WHEN JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED JOHN WAS THERE AND HE WEPT

WHEN HIS BROTHER JAMES WAS BEHEADED BY HEROD ---JOHN WEPT

WHEN HE SAW THE OTHER APOSTLES WHO DIED BEFORE HE DID----JOHN WEPT

IN REVEALATION 5 WHEN HE THOUGHT THERE WAS NO ONE TO OPEN THE BOOK OF THE 7 SEALS ------JOHN WEPT

JOHN WAS WELL AQUAINTED WITH TEARS

BUT JOHN IS NOT THE ONLY ONE AQUAINTED WITH TEARS

BECAUSE ALL OF US IN HERE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT SHEDDING TEARS

BECAUSE IT DON`T TAKE LONG IN THIS WORLD TO BECOME AQUAINTED WITH SHEDDING TEARS

YOU SEE

A BABY WHEN IT IS BORN COMES INTO THIS WORLD SHEDDING TEARS

YOU DON`T HAVE TO BE HERE LONG TO LEARN HOW TO SHED TEARS

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD

YOU DON`T EVEN HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN HOW TO SHED TEARS

BECAUSE NOBODY HAS TO TEACH YOU HOW TO CRY-------IT COMES NATURALLY

BECAUSE SHEDDING TEARS IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

BECAUSE IN ALL OF MY 40 PLUS YEARS

I`VE NEVER HEARD NOBODY CRYING IN SPANISH—GERMAN OR FRENCH

BECAUSE WHEN FOLKS CRY THEY JUST CRY

FOR THERE IS NO COLLEGE DEGREE THAT CAN EXEMPT YOU FROM SHEDDING TEARS

THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT CAN EXEMPT YOU FROM SHEDDING TEARS
