For the lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water (Revelation 7:17).
What a glorious reading! We have had various pastoral images in our Bible readings this week where we have been reminded of the Good Shepherd leading us, carrying lambs. Here, we have a description of a glorious scene before the lamb of God on the throne.
One day, we will also be praising God in heaven with the multitude.
The promises of heaven are ahead. No more hunger, thirst, scorching sun and heat. Instead, springs of living water and all tears wiped away.
As we lose loved ones who have gone on to glory before us, we can take comfort in our own mourning that they are in this place with him. As we are persecuted and suffer, we can look for the day we will also be comforted and our tears wiped away.
In the meantime, we might turn our thoughts to the Great Commission, and our job as followers of Christ to ourselves lead others to him. We are to model ourselves on the Great Shepherd and show others the way to him. Who can you guide towards the Lord right now?
‘Praise and glory, and wisdom and thanks, and honour and power and strength be to our God forever and ever Amen!’ Lord, draw the lost ones to you, so they with us can praise you with these glorious words in eternity. Amen.
