Scripture: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” – 2 Corinthians 5:17
The brokenness of this world belongs to the “old order,” it ended with the Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. In Christ, we have been made new, and one day creation itself will be fully renewed. We live in a world marked by the “old order” a system that revolves around sin, decay, hatred and brokenness. This order is identified by death, sorrow, and pain. But Revelation 21:4 reminds us that the old order is temporary. There is a new creation coming, where righteousness dwells and God reigns without opposition.
For those of us that have become Christians, this renewal has already begun in Christ. Through salvation we are new creations, even though we still live in a broken world. Our hearts have been transformed, but our environment still bears the marks of the old order. The tension we feel is the longing for things to be different and this is a sign of the kingdom already at work within us.
This promise challenges us to live as citizens of the new creation, not bound by the values of the old. We are called to walk in holiness, extend compassion, and carry hope into a world desperate for it. Each act of love, each choice for righteousness, reflects the kingdom that is coming.
The old order surrounds us now, but it will not last. There is a day coming when sin, injustice, and suffering will vanish forever, replaced by God’s perfect reign. This promise is the hope we can cling to today.
Question: What part of your life reminds you most of the “old order” that you long to see gone?
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are making all things new. Transform my heart daily to reflect Your coming kingdom. Please show me when I start to depend on me, and help me to remove my ego that can get in the way. In Jesus Name Amen

Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?”
God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt, and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
And they will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless compelled by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it; after that he will let you go. And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go, you shall not go empty,but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in her house, for silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You.

Scripture:“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” – Romans 8:18
Reflection: Pain; emotional, spiritual, or physical—will one day be gone forever. The glory that’s coming far outweighs the struggles we now have to endure. Pain can take many forms including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Because of this we are reminded daily that we live in a fallen world. Some of us experience chronic illness, others have hidden scars, and many carry burdens of the heart. But Revelation 21:4 declares that pain will not last forever. The aches, wounds, and struggles of this life will be permanently healed in the presence of God.
This is not just a little relief from pain but it is its complete removal of it. Can you imagine life without sickness, without mental anguish, without the stabbing grief of betrayal or loss. In the new creation, every form of pain will be gone. The glory awaiting us is so great that Paul calls our present sufferings “light and momentary” by comparison (2 Corinthians 4:17).
What does this mean for us today? It means we can endure with hope. Pain may be part of our journey, but it is not our ultimate destiny. The scars of life may remain now, but they will one day give way to complete restoration. Even more, pain often drives us closer to God, teaching us to depend on His strength and reminding us that our true home is with Him.
Do not worry whatever pain you carry now will one day be gone forever. Every ache, pain, and anxiety will give way to joy, and every wound will be healed in Christ’s presence.
Question: How does this promise encourage you when facing pain?
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, give me strength to endure present pain with the hope of eternal healing in You. Help me to deal with and understand my current afflictions. Thank you Lord for the what you do and the gifts that you have given me. In Jesus Name Amen

Scripture:“Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” – Psalm 30:5
Reflection: Tears may come for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Revelation 21:4 points to the eternal morning where tears have ceased to never return. Sadly, tears are part of life. They fall in moments of loss, and pain, when words fail, or when pain runs too deep for expression. Crying is a universal human response to the brokenness around us. Yet Revelation 21:4 assures us of a day when crying will be silenced forever. The eternal morning will dawn, and with it, joy that no darkness or shadow will ever dim.
It’s important to see that crying here represents more than tears; it represents all emotional anguish, the heartache that weighs down the soul. Right now, many cry over loneliness, betrayal, disappointment, or fear. But in eternity all the pain that causes will vanish. The sources of heartbreak will be removed, and our tears will be wiped away by God Himself.
This promise encourages us not to lose heart when tears fall now. They remind us of our yearning for something better, something eternal. Each tear can be seen as a prayer, (John 11:35) pointing us toward the day when joy will replace the pain and sadness forever. And until that day, God does not waste our tears. (Psalm 56:8) He uses even our crying to draw us nearer to Him and to shape our hearts for eternity.
So if tears stain your cheeks today, take courage, it’s all right. They are temporary. Joy is on the horizon, and one day, crying will no longer exist. The eternal morning is coming—and with it, unending rejoicing.
Question: How have you seen God turn your mourning into joy in the past?
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I give You my tears, fears, pain and anxieties. Lord I trust that You will bring lasting joy in Your perfect time. Thank you for everything you do. In Jesus Name Amen

Scripture:“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted… to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes.” – Isaiah 61:1–3
Reflection: Mourning is part of our present life, but God promises there will be a day when sorrow will be replaced with everlasting joy. Mourning is one of the most human of experiences. As humans we mourn losses of people, opportunities, health, friendships or dreams. Sorrow and mourning reminds us that something is missing, that life is not how it should be. But Revelation 21:4 promises that in the new creation, mourning will be no more. The weight that presses on our hearts will be lifted forever, and the ache of loss will be replaced with unshakable joy.
We can recognize something that is very powerful about this promise, we see God doesn’t minimize our mourning. Scripture acknowledges it as real and significant. Even Jesus wept at Lazarus’s tomb (John 11:35), showing us that grief is not weakness, but love expressed through sorrow. Yet mourning is not the final act. God promises beauty for ashes, gladness for mourning, and praise instead of despair.
When we feel the pain and sorrow and experience the loss now we can take comfort in knowing that mourning has an expiration date. The sorrow you carry today is not permanent. God Himself one day will lift it from your shoulders, replacing it with eternal joy in His presence.
Question: What loss or grief are you asking God to comfort today?
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, please help comfort me in my sorrow and mourning. When it seems so overwhelming and unbearable remind me of the joy that awaits me in Your presence. Thank you Lord for all that you do. In Jesus Name Amen

Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen

Scripture:1 Corinthians 15:54–55 But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”
Reflection: Death may feel like the greatest enemy, but in Christ it is defeated. The grave is not the last word. Death has haunted humanity since the garden of Eden. It is the great disruptor of life, it tears apart families, ends dreams, and reminds us of the fragility of existence. We try to dress it up in gentle words—“passing away” or “resting in peace” but the true reality is harsh. However for the believer, Revelation 21:4 declares a future where death itself will die. A believer in Christ is a world where funerals are forgotten, where graveyards no longer exist, and where the pain of separation never comes again. This is the promise we have been given with the resurrection and the ultimate hope of Christ’s victory.
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus conquered death once and for all. The grave could not hold Him, and because He lives, we too shall live. For now, we may grieve those we’ve lost, but we do not grieve without hope. Every believer who has died in Christ will rise again to eternal life, and death will be stripped of its sting. Revelation 21:4 reminds us that death does not get the final word—God does.
This assurance changes how we face mortality. We no longer need not live in fear of death, when we know Jesus or eternity has been secured. This also helps transform how we walk through grief. The tears will flow now, but because of the promise we know that they are temporary. There is a day in our future when we will be reunited with our loved ones in Christ, and death will be nothing but a defeated shadow.
As you walk through the day, remember this: every goodbye you’ve had to say because of death will one day be undone. The Author of life has written a final chapter where death is no more. “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20 ESV That day is closer than we think, and until then, we live in courage and hope, knowing that eternal life in Christ awaits.
Question: How does the promise of no more death give you courage in your daily life?
Prayer: Jesus, thank You for conquering death. Teach me how to live in resurrection hope every day. Help me to conquer my natural egotistical tendencies and help me to follow You the way You want. Help me to walk through life the way Jesus did. In Jesus Name Amen

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” – Revelation 21:4 (NIV)
Reflection: God is not distant, He is pictured in Revelation 21:4 as a Father personally wiping away tears. Everything you’ve experienced matters to Him, sorrow, pain, grief, and joy. When John describes God wiping away every tear, he gives us more than offering a poetic picture he reveals the heart of God as tender, personal, and deeply invested in the lives of His children He loves. Our God is not a distant God who fixes the universe from afar, but a Father who draws near to His people, bending low in compassion. Think about the image: a parent wiping tears from a child’s face. It is intimate, gentle, and filled with love. This is how God relates to you. He does not scoff at your pain or rush you past your pain. Instead, He acknowledges every tear you’ve shed and promises that a day is coming when those tears (Psalm 56:8) will never fall again.
This truth should change how we view our present suffering. Often, we may feel like our pain is unnoticed or that we are walking through the chaos and trials alone. But Revelation 21:4 assures us that God has seen every tear, every hidden grief, every silent cry of the heart. Psalm 56:8 even says that He keeps our tears in a bottle a poetic way of saying not one drop has been forgotten. Nothing escapes His care. In eternity, He will not only remove sorrow but personally comfort us, face-to-face, with His loving presence.
For many of us, this promise hits home because life is filled with tears. We cry over lost loved ones, broken relationships, unmet dreams, and battles with sickness or despair. Yet Revelation 21:4 reminds us that our story does not end in sorrow. Our tears, and trials may mark the journey, but joy will mark the destination. God’s personal act of wiping away tears assures us that suffering has an expiration date. What overwhelms us today will one day be swallowed up in His eternal peace.
So as you reflect on this verse, remember that God’s care for you is not abstract it is as close as a hand brushing away your tears. Let this promise give you comfort today: you are fully seen, fully known, and fully loved by the One created everything, knows everything and has already prepared the day when every tear will be gone forever.
Question: What does it mean to you that God Himself, not an angel or anyone else, will wipe away your tears?
Prayer: Lord, thank You for caring deeply about my pain. Help me trust Your love in both sorrow and joy. I appreciate how much you do for me every day. In Jesus Name Amen

Revelation 21:4 – The Promise of a Tearless Eternity
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” – Revelation 21:4 (NIV)
One of the few verses in the Bible that captures the hope of heaven as vividly as Revelation 21:4. This verse found near the end of Scripture, is a passage that shines as a beacon of comfort, offering a vision of what awaits Christians when God makes all things new. It is a verse that has carried countless hearts through grief, sustaining the weary in seasons of suffering, reminding us all that pain will not have the final word.
The Context of Revelation 21:4
If you want to fully understand this verse, we need to learn it within its context. Revelation is a book of the word given to the Apostle John while exiled on the island of Patmos. Throughout this book, John records dramatic and often difficult images of judgment, tribulation, and spiritual warfare. But as the book nears its close, the tone shifts dramatically.
In Revelation 21, John describes the vision of the New Heaven and New Earth. The old, broken order of creation has passed away, and God ushers in His eternal kingdom. The New Jerusalem descends from heaven, and God dwells with His people in perfect fellowship. At this point, in this breathtaking vision, John records one of the most tender promises in Scripture:
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes…”
This is not some elaborate poem—it is a declaration of the radical transformation that awaits all who belong to Christ.
What does it all mean
1. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes”
This is a deeply personal image. God Himself is pictured as gently wiping away the tears from His children’s faces. It’s not because all sorrow will end; it’s because God actively comforts His people. The intimacy of this moment reflects His love and care.
It tells us that every tear we’ve shed—there is no difference between grief, betrayal, disappointment, or physical pain—it matters to Him. In Psalm 56:8, David declares that God keeps our tears in a bottle, symbolizes that He knows showing His compassion. Revelation 21:4 shows us that those tears will one day be permanently wiped away, never to return.
2. “There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain”
With the following four experiences—death, mourning, crying, and pain—it summarizes the brokenness of life in our fallen world. Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, humanity has been plagued by these realities. But in God’s eternal kingdom, they will cease forever.
This isn’t just an simple modification of life as we know it—it’s the complete removal of suffering. Death will no longer hold dominion, mourning will no longer shadow our hearts, and pain will no longer weigh down our souls.
3. “For the old order of things has passed away”
Why does the suffering end? It is because He proclaims the old order—the world tainted by sin, death, and decay—will be replaced by God’s new creation. Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This renewal that has been promised to individuals in salvation, will one day extend to all of creation.
Why This Verse Matters Today
It can be easy to degrade Revelation 21:4 to the “someday” category, seeing it only as a far-off hope. But its power is not limited to the future—it speaks into our present lives with profound encouragement.
1. Comfort in Grief
When we stand at a graveside or walk through seasons of mourning, Revelation 21:4 highlights that death is not the end. The grief, anguish, sorrow and pain of today will one day give way to eternal joy. We can be confident that those who die in Christ will experience this tearless eternity.
2. Strength in Suffering
For those of us that struggle with chronic illness, mental anguish, or deep personal pain, this Revelation 21:4 provides strength to endure. Our present sufferings are real, but they are temporary. Paul echoes this in Romans 8:18: “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
3. Hope in Brokenness
When we look around this world often feels irreparably broken. Wars, injustice, poverty, and loss can overwhelm us. But Revelation 21:4 assures us that the brokenness we see is not permanent. God is actively working toward a day when His kingdom will bring perfect peace and restoration.
Living in Light of Revelation 21:4
How should this promise shape our lives today?
1. Live with Eternal Perspective
Because we know and promised that sorrow, pain, and death are temporary, it helps us endure trials with faith and hope. It lifts our eyes from the present moment to the eternal reality ahead.
2. Extend Compassion
Knowing that God Himself cares enough to wipe away tears should inspire us to reflect His compassion. We can be His hands and feet, comforting those who mourn and walking alongside those in pain.
3. Share the Hope of Christ
Revelation 21:4 is a promise reserved for those who belong to Christ. It should stir in us a desire to share the gospel so others may also experience the hope of this tearless eternity.
4. Anticipate with Joy
This promise should not only comfort us but also fill us with joy and anticipation. Just as a bride eagerly awaits her wedding day, we too can eagerly look forward to the day when Christ makes all things new.
A Sample of What’s Coming
Daily, we can experience glimpses of Revelation 21:4. You can see God bring peace in the midst of turmoil, when He comforts us in grief, or when we witness healing and restoration, we are experiencing samples of His eternal kingdom. These moments are reminders that a greater fulfillment is yet to come.
Always remember that the ultimate promise is the complete removal of sorrow and pain awaits us in eternity. This is not wishful thinking; it is the assured destiny of all who place their faith in Christ.
Conclusion
Revelation 21:4 is not just a verse about how great heaven is but it’s a verse about hope. This is God’s promise that the brokenness, despair, and sickness of this world is not final. Every tear will be wiped away, every sorrow will end, and every wound will be healed.
When we are walking through loss, this verse offers comfort. For those enduring suffering, it offers strength. For those discouraged by the state of the world, it offers hope. And for all of us, it points to the incredible love of a God who not only redeems but also restores.
So let us hold tightly to this promise: the day is coming when the old order of pain and death will pass away, and God Himself will dwell with His people, wiping every tear from our eyes.

“A certain man had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them. Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living. When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs. He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any. But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;for this, my son, was dead and is alive again.
He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate. “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’ But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’ “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’” (Luke 15:11-32)

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
