The curtain falls on the ancient drama of sin, and rises on the glory of a new world of limitless possibilities. Of Jesus, the Ruler of that coming world, we read:

“And the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.”
—Isaiah 9:6, 7.

You can live forever with that Wonderful Counselor and Everlasting Father. You can stand inside the New Jerusalem on that day when all of humanity confronts each other face-to-face. If you have placed your life in the hands of Jesus, you need never experience the unspeakable horror of those on the outside of the city who realize they are lost forever. By giving your trust to Christ as Saviour, you can be assured that, when the record of your life appears in the judgment, Jesus will say, “I died for that person, the record of my perfect life belongs to My beloved one!”

Dear Father: How thankful I am that You are not only fair, but loving and merciful! How thankful I am for Jesus and all that He has done and is doing for me every day! How thankful I am that He died to save me so that I can be inside the Holy City and be saved forever! Yes, Father, I plan to be there inside that city. Keep me faithful, I pray. In Jesus name, Amen.
