God Will Wipe Away Every Tear

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the central focus is on the biblical promise that God will one day wipe away every tear from our eyes. Chris uses the song "Tears in Heaven" as an entry point to discuss humanity's deep longing for comfort and a world free from pain. Drawing from passages in Revelation and Isaiah, he underscores the repeated assurance that in heaven, there will be no more suffering, loss, or crying. Chris reflects on how tears are a natural part of our earthly experience, tied to both joy and sorrow, and even notes that Jesus himself wept. He reassures listeners that feelings of grief, pain, injustice, and regret are temporary for believers, and that in heaven, these kinds of tears will be forever erased—replaced by perfect healing and joy in God's presence. The sermon addresses difficult questions, such as concern for loved ones who may not join us in heaven, and assures that God's goodness will ultimately bring peace even in those memories. Romig encourages his audience to hold firmly to the hope of heaven, allowing it to sustain them through current hardships and motivate them to share this hope with others. He closes with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to comfort those in pain and to fill them with assurance of the joy that awaits in God's eternal kingdom.
