Revelation 22: The angel also showed me the river of the
water of life, sparkling like crystal, and coming from the throne of God and of
the Lamb 2 and flowing down the middle of the
city's street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, which bears
fruit twelve times a year, once each month; and its leaves are for the healing
of the nations. 3 Nothing that is under God's curse
will be found in the city.
============
Driving down the
road, I ran over a skunk carcass. For miles I could smell the horrible powerful
stench of the dead animal. I ran through a puddle, yet the smell still
lingered.
- I wished that I had not experienced the dead skunk.
- I wished I had not run over something that was dead and decaying.
- I would have preferred for all things that were alive to remain alive.
John, the disciple
JESUS loved, was shown three things that provided life. One river and two trees
were described as things that provided life. He also mentioned that the leaves
would be used to heal the nations. Any sickness or disease that was under GOD’s
curse would be healed by the things that provided life.
My Observations:
- GOD made us with life in mind.
- Eternal life will contain no sickness, no disease and no death.
- GOD’s eternal curse will not apply to those who love the LORD.
When GOD heals
eternally, it will be done for good! I mean, there will be no more crying over
a lost loved one, no more pain that keeps people awake and no more disease that
causes bodies to malfunction. Why? Because JESUS paid it all.
JESUS was took on
our curse. CHRIST redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for
us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” HE was hung
on a cross and gave us eternal life. I am grateful to receive living water that
will make me never thirst again.
Challenge
- Why do you think the writer mention’s GOD’s curse?
- Have you ever gotten sick or hurt or experienced some sort of pain?
- Will you accept JESUS as your Savior so you can have everlasting life today?
