After reading today’s passages, use the guiding content below to help you reflect, respond, and engage with one another.
Scripture ends with the book of Revelation’s descriptions of God reigning over the new heaven and new earth.
In prayer and in the comments, reflect on how these passages compare to your current understanding of eternity. How has the reading clarified or changed your perspective?
The verses remind me to be humble; God is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End (yet the End is eternal). So much beauty in this!
I think of how limited our worldly view is of beauty and am always expectant of and relish in the Godly restoration and renewal that comes with us accepting Him in making us anew in His image. The love!!
I love how the passages stated more than once that God isn’t finished yet, but the end is near and we should be preparing ourselves for what He has saved for us! I can only imagine what experiencing the bright light and glory of God will be like, but I cannot wait!
I can hardly imagine living in such perfection endlessly in Jerusalem as the book of Revelation describes, when all is said and done with humanity as we know it. It feels ways like way too much to take in!
Sometimes I think the idea of eternal life can be too focused on the idea of heaven – these verses draw our attention back to God

Eternal life with God, is something that He wants with me. The scriptures reminds me of how much power He holds. He gives reassurance that this new eternal life with Him will be free from pain and suffering.
I found the verse where he talks about there being no sun, just the light of god. No sun. We revolve around the sun on this earth. How magnificent it must be to have Jesus at the center of everything in the next life. Reminds me of his Power and Goodnesses
