“And There Shall Be No More Curse: But The Throne Of God And Of The Lamb Shall Be In It”
SIH’s Think On
These Things: Rev 22:3
Rev
22:3
And
there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in
it; and his servants shall serve him:
What a wonderful
thought! When we enter eternity there
will be no more curse, nor effects of sin in the world. What will complete the empty space left by
the absence of sin? The very presence of God and His Son, the Lamb, and our
service to Him that is what will fill this void. Can you imagine what the new earth will be
like filled with the glory of God and the Son and all its activity be centered
on perfect constant attention to God alone?
This type of existence is
described elsewhere in Revelation…
Rev
7:14-17 And
I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which
came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white
in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne
shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst
any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For
the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead
them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes.
What a day that will be! To have the sinful actions of this world
replaced by perfect submission to His will. Sickness, sorrow and death will be wiped
away by the touch of the Lord’s hand. Our
labor under a hot sun fighting with weeds and thistles to procure food for our existence
is now replaced by no longer hungering or thirsting nor fighting the physical
results of sin in the world. Satan’s walking
to and fro seeking to devour us replaced by the very presence and glory of God
Himself, lighting this new world.
But how is it possible
for us to receive such great blessings from God? We have this question answered in Gal
3:10-13…
For as many as are
of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all
things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But
that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And
the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ
hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it
is written, Cursed [is] every one
that hangeth on a tree:
It is through the work
of Christ on the cross, that the curse of sin will be lifted for us throughout
our eternity. He is the One that took
the curse upon Himself so that we might be liberated from that curse. To do this, He became a curse by being
falsely accused and hung on the cross receiving the wrath of God for our sins
which he bear.
Let us thank the Lord
for the total absolute deliverance from the curse of sin which is awaiting us
in eternity. And let us not forget to
thank Him for His work on the cross, the basis of our deliverance from this
curse.
May the
Lord bless us as we “Think On These Things”.
