“He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.” -Isaiah 25:8
This is where we are headed. To the final day of death to the end of tears and to the comfort and shared glory of his people. Isaiah gives us the prophetic image, Revelation gives it as well. In Christ, this will be yours.
Because of Jesus' work to redeem you and gift you his righteousness, you are now secure in him and headed to this eternity without pain, suffering, tears, sin, heartbreaks, or hurt. You have an existence of peace and pleasure (but not in the way we might define it in our day). You can be pleased solely in Jesus, his presence, his perfection, his radiance.
We are headed in the right direction if eternity with Jesus is our destination. We live so much of our lives wanting this without articulating it. We exercise, we eat right, we care for loved ones, we play it safe—all that we might prolong our days that they would not be cut short or tainted by death.
But there is coming a day, not far from now, when it will be dealt with. There will be no anxiety toward death because it won't exist. There will be the full range of redeemed emotion, joy, and passion.
Today, be reminded of this destination. Look to it with expectancy and live now with the joy you know will fully be yours on that day.
