“I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.”  A.W. Tozer

We have heard from the Angel a bit about the New Heaven and the New Earth – now he turns his attention to the New Jerusalem and we discover that God gives us a new place to worship!

The angel takes John to a high and distant place to observe the New City – sounds so much like the angel Lucifer taking Jesus high above the cities to entice Him to seek their temporary ‘glory’ (Matt 4) instead of true worship.  From this high point John sees the New City as a giant diamond glistening in the darkness of space – what a sight!  Moving closer John observes the Map of the City – the Measuring of the City – the Materials of the City.  Each one revealing another part of God’s glory.  Finally we get to go inside the space with John and find out that this great City of Faith has no Temple!  The whole thing is place dedicated to the glory of God – one giant worship gathering.  We get a taste of this each Sunday morning together.

Sunday is our time to be reminded of our place in God’s glory – the worshippers!  Please read again the opening quote from Tozer and lets get ready for Heaven!

See you Sunday,
Pastor Mike
