Dedicated To The Men of God
Who Preach the Word of God As It Is To Men As They Are
"Preach The Word"
AND GOD HIMSELF SHALL WIPE ALL
TEARS FROM OUR EYES
Revelation 21:1-3
INTRODUCTION:
Three things that we should do in this
service this morning,
we should:
1. REMEMBER THE GOODNESS OF GOD
When I reflect on the goodness of God, I think about:
a. The salvation that He has promised
2 Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
b. The security that He has promised
Heb 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
2. REVERENCE THE GREATNESS OF GOD
When I consider the greatness of God, I think about:
a. The words of the seraphims
Isa 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
b. The worship of the saints
Rev 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
3. REFUSE THE GRIEVING OF GOD
When I think about grieving God, I think about:
a. The example that God has given
Heb 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
b. The exhortation that God has given
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
1Thes 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.
Notice three things that we should do with this verse
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes...
We should:
I. RECEIVE THIS VERSE
In this verse we find:
A. STRENGTH FOR MY JOURNEY
I Kings 19:7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
B. SIGHT FOR MY JORDAN
Exodus 14
Ps 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
C. SUBSTANCE FOR MY JOY
Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
We should:
II. RECITE THIS VERSE
When we recite this verse it will:
A. ENCOURAGE OUR HEARTS
1 Sam 17:32-36
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
B. EXEMPLIFY OUR HOPE
1 Cor 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
C. EXPLAIN OUR HAPPINESS
Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Phil 3:20-21
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
We should:
III. REMEMBER THIS VERSE
We should remember this verse the next time that we are:
A. SETTING IN A CLINIC
B. STANDING IN A CEMETERY
C. STRUGGLING IN A CONFLICT
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes...
CONCLUSION:
What a wonderful thought to think on that Jesus Christ has prepared a place for the believers for all ages a place that will have nothing there that would cause us tears. No more suffering. No more sorrow. No more sickness. No more sin. That is just about enough to make a Baptist shout.
