This week we are looking at passages that deal with heaven. Revelation 21 gives a description of heaven. Verses 15-21 describe the physical appearance of heaven. John uses images such as streets of gold and pearly gates. There is also a description of the experience of heaven. Verses 3-4 describe God being with those in heaven. That death, mourning, crying and pain will have no place in heaven. In verse 25 he writes, "On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there." Gates were shut at night because of the fear of an enemy. There is no such fear in heaven for the glory of the Lord is the constant light.
As you read the descriptions of heaven, what appeals to you?

What reassurance we have in this chapter of what heaven will be like. I praise God for this promise of no pain, crying, death or mourning!
