Today, we dive into Revelation 21, exploring the profound hope of a new heaven and a new earth. I know, I know - it sounds like an absolutely feral favorite book to choose, but that's just the kind of kid I was. I share a bit about my journey with my husband’s health challenges, which have made these verses about God wiping every tear from our eyes resonate deeply for me. We discuss the tension between hard truths and the ridiculous grace offered through Christ, emphasizing that our faith is a lifelong journey, not just a momentary experience. As we navigate this complex relationship with death, sin, and God's promise of renewal, I invite you to sit in that messy middle with us, reflecting on where you stand in your own faith journey.

Takeaways:

• The idea of a new heaven and earth in Revelation gives us hope and renewal in our spiritual journey.
• Facing hardships like illness can deepen our faith, revealing the importance of both truth and grace.
• Life isn't about a single salvation moment; it's a lifelong journey of growing closer to God.
• We should embrace the tension between hard truths and grace, as both are essential in our faith.
• True faith invites us to seek deeper understanding of scripture, not just surface-level comfort.
• Death and suffering are real, but they push us toward a richer relationship with God and his promises.
