My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

MARCH The Seventh THINGS MISSING IN HEAVEN

REVELATION xxi.1-7.

What a number of |conspicuous absences| there are to be in |the home-land!|

No more sea! John was in Patmos, and the sea rolled between him and his kinsmen. The sea was a minister of estrangement. But in the home-country every cause of separation is to be done away, and the family life is to be one of inconceivable intimacy. No more sea!

And no more pain! Its work is done, and therefore the worker is put away. When the building is completed the scaffolding may be removed. When the patient is in good health the medicine bottles can be dispensed with. And so shall it be with pain and all its attendants. |The inhabitant never says: 'I am sick!'|

And no more death! |The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death.| Yes, he, too, shall drop his scythe, and his lax hand shall destroy no more for ever. Death himself shall die! And all things that have shared his work shall die with him. |The former things have passed away.| The wedding-peal which welcomes the Lamb's bride will ring the funeral knell of Death and all his sable company.
