Dawn of Deathless Days
Today’s Scripture is Revelation 21:4.
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
I’ve seen grown men cry. I’ve shed more than a few tears myself. Sometimes from pain, but usually through losing someone I love. I’ll bet you have too. If not, just wait a little. Death comes to every door.
Today’s scripture speaks directly to us during times when we weep. It promises that one day, all causes of sorrow will be permanently removed. We will have a future where death does not loom, where mourning is no more, and tears are wiped from our eyes—not temporarily, but forever. This divine assurance highlights not just an end but a new beginning.
As the philosopher Seneca once remarked, “The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.” Listen to that again, “The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.” That is really what Revelation 21:4 is saying, what awaits us beyond this life is not an ending but an eternal continuation free from all earthly burdens.
