THE DAY OF THE LORD – THE NEW JERUSALEM (2)

 

Zechariah 14:10-21

THE DAY OF THE LORD – THE NEW JERUSALEM (2)

    The New City, Jerusalem, as promised in today’s passage shall be free from war, attack and destruction (v.11) because it is founded by the Lord Jesus. In it, there won’t be any jot of sin or anything that works corruption; it will be a complete holy city of God (Rev. 21:1, 2).

                Jerusalem has been from time immemorial, honored, as the City of God and the focal point of the entire world’s worship. No wonder, people from all walks of life would always go to Jerusalem to perform their holy pilgrimage. Alas! No matter how descent, amusing and fascinating this earthly Jerusalem may seem, its beauty cannot be compared with New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God (Rev. 21:1, 2). It is a glorious home we all as Christians wish to inherit. Everyone except sinners is welcomed in this New Jerusalem. And all hope is not lost on such sinners in as much as they have repented from their sins while on earth. There’s no repentance beyond here, and unfortunately, tomorrow is promised to no man. Repent today so you can be part of this glorious New Jerusalem.

PRAYER:               Lord Jesus, count me worthy in Your kingdom, the New Jerusalem. Amen
