| My prespective of Revelation 21:4 |

For those of us who have surrendered our lives to Christ and carry our cross daily. This verse is to give us hope and encouragement. As for the Soul that was saved and is not living for Christ I believe this verse brings them dread and fear. Dread and Fear because there is that awarness that christian is a straying sheep. I believe the Lord does that not to convict that person to hell, He does it so that straying sheep will join the flock and live for him once again. Luke 15:3-7 3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. 21:4 he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away." |
