Rev. Bruce Brown
Revelation 21:1-8
What Is Glorious About It? (verses 3-4)
Whose Home Is It Anyway? (verses 5-6)
How Do We Take Our Place? (verses 6-8)
“How do we take our place in the new world of glory and bliss?... It is free to us sinners, but it was very costly to Jesus, and it is the most valuable of all gifts. Who is thirsty for eternal life? For total pardon of sin, fellowship with God now, and everlasting joy beyond the grave? All you need to get on board is this thirst. Indeed, this very thirst is a gift from God, to orient our souls homewards. What a generous God He is! He causes us to want the gift, and then provides the gift at His own expense.” Douglas Kelly

“Why do we not know the country whose citizens we are? Because we have wandered so far away that we have forgotten it. But the LORD Christ, the King of the land, came down to us, and drove forgetfulness from our heart. God took to Himself our flesh so that He might be our way back.” ~ Saint Augustine
