« The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light »
Read Isaiah 60:17-21
17 “Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron I will bring silver, instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will also make your officers peace, and your magistrates righteousness.
18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 “The sun shall no longer be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you; but the Lord will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.
20 Your sun shall no longer go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21 Also your people shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.
There is more to that glorious city I told you about yesterday.
Apart from all the material and emotional benefits of being in that city, the weather there is perfect.
There is neither extreme cold nor heat; everything is just perfect.
In fact, all the heat you endure from our sun here is not there because there is no sun.
The source of its light is glory, as seen in the memory verse of today.
- Imagine a place where everything is perfect, including the weather.
A city where everything is flawless.
In this city, animals that we currently fear and refer to as wild animals will no longer be feared. Isaiah 11:6-8 says
« The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den »
This indeed, is one city that is worth sacrificing everything to get into.
That is why Jesus said that it would be a great loss if a person were to gain the whole world and yet lose his soul, Mark 8: 36.
- This is because everything in this world is of no value when compared to life in The City of God.
Don’t let anything stop you from ending up in this city.
You must be so desperate that if your hand would hinder you from entering the city, you should cut it off.
If your eye would hinder you from entering the city, you should pluck it out Matthew 18:9.
Beloved, stay completely away from sin so that you can end up in this glorious city.
It is worth it to sacrifice everything you have today just to end up in this city.
No amount of money, fame, power or material possession should stop you from making it to heaven.
Nothing at all is worth sacrificing your opportunity to get into this glorious city where the Lord Himself is the light; nothing at all.
Application – Nothing is worth missing heaven for.
