Well, Church, I believe that we have covered the Lord’s teaching in Matthew pretty well.  The guide lines for our lives here on earth have been given and explained for us by Jesus Himself.  Now it is our turn to do something about them in our lives.  We need to say “Yes” to God and His work in our lives, and “No” to the worldly and self-seeking things we tend to hang on to in our lives.  It is NOT going to be easy, but then again learning experiences are not all easy!  We, as Children of God, need to keep in God’s Word for ourselves and listen to God’s Spirit “in” us to make it through ALL our walk on this earth.  God “IS” with us every moment of every day!  We CAN ALWAYS count on Him to be right here with us through everything.  NO doubts in our minds EVER!!!!!!  We CAN do this Church, I know we can!  Have Faith and Trust in God, His Son, and His Spirit!!!  OUR TRINITY!

 

          And what will we be blessed with at the end of God’s Plan?   Answer:  New Jerusalem in all its Glory and eternal life with God our Father!!!!!!!

 

Revelation chapter 21 and 22: 1-5

New Heaven and Earth are created:

          “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.  Also there was no more sea.  Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.”  “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”  Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”  And He said, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”  And He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End.  I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.”  “He who overcomes I shall give him these things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.”  “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

 

          Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb’s bride.”  And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the city, the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God.  And her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.  Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.  Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.  And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.  And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as its breadth.  And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs (1377mi.).  Its length, breadth, and height are equal.  Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits (216 ft.), according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.  And the construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.  And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones; the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl.  And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.  But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty; and the Lamb are its temple.  And the city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and the Lamb is its light.  And the nations shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor of the nations to Him.  But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of life.

 

          And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.  In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit, every month.  And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.  They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.  And there shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light.  And they shall reign forever and ever.”(NKJ)

 

 This being the End of God’s Plan!   Praise the Lord God of the Universe!!!!!!!

 

          This is His Plan, His Purpose, His Heart to be with us forever, with His Children whom He Loves.  But our journey continues until that time when He calls us home. Each of our roads may be different in experience but the destination is the same!  Our choices, good or bad, is what we learn on our way.  If it is a good choice God makes it profitable, if it is a bad choice we repent and learn from our mistakes, that is part of our journey.

 

          So let’s continue to learn from His Word, grow with our experiences, and continue the journey until He is ready to call us HOME, however and whenever HE chooses to call us HOME. 

 

OUR JOURNEY MUST CONTINUE!

 

And the only way we can make it through this wonderful and necessary path is through:

 

                   TRUSTING AND BELIEVING IN GOD
