Of Tears:
The saying goes,
“There will be no tears in Heaven.” Or, “There will be no
crying in Heaven.” This is true and false. Let me explain.
Rev
21:4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be
any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
In
order for God to wipe the tears from our eyes, we must be crying. I
believe when we enter into Heaven and we see Yeshuah Jesus, we will
see His scars from the beating He took for us. We will see the nail
holes in His wrists, and we will see
the love in His eyes for us.
Rev
5:6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been
slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
of God sent forth into all the earth.
This
Lamb is none other than Yeshuah Jesus. Here in the midst of the
throne He stands, still bearing the scars of the whipping, the
disfigurement of
His face after
being beaten and His beard being ripped out. I believe this is what
we will behold when we step into eternity. This will be one reason we
will cry. Imagine that if you can.
Seeing our Savior standing there still bearing the marks of the
crucifixion, “stood
a Lamb as it had been slain,”.
The only man made thing in Heaven
will be the scars of Yeshuah. (For a deeper study on The Scars of
Christ go to my web page at the link at the bottom of this post.)
The
second reason I believe we will cry when we enter in to Heaven is,
that
when we see Christ we will immediately think of all we could have
done for the Lord and didn't, and all we did do, that we shouldn't
have done. But, God in
great love and compassion will
reach out to each of us and gently touch our cheeks and eyes and wipe
the tears away. There will nevermore be any crying. Memories of this
earth that caused so much grief and pain will be no more. The former
things are long passed away. Now, all is new.
Selah,
I.H.G.
