Consummation

1. What Is Heaven Like? 2. We Live in a World Under a Curse. 3. The Lord Jesus Christ Has Conquered that Curse. 4. But we Live in a Time of Suffering. 5. Our Souls Have Been Redeemed, But not Yet our Bodies. 6. How Could the Deaths of Those Little Girls Be Part of God's Plan for Good? 7. Revelation 21-22 Fulfills Isaiah's Prophecies of Heaven on Earth. 8. Heaven and Earth Will Be Purged of Corruption. The sermon explores the promise of a restored world, drawing from Revelation and Isaiah to paint a picture of ultimate consummation and liberation from suffering. Reflecting on personal experiences, including the passing of a father and the loss of a spouse, the message emphasizes the hope of a new heaven and a new earth where pain, decay, and the effects of the curse will be eradicated, and believers will experience a state of perfect health, harmony, and reunion with loved ones. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a steadfast anticipation of Christ's return and a renewed commitment to righteousness in light of the hope for a transformed world free from the burdens of this fallen existence.
