“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband” (Revelation 21:2).
Imagine for a few moments you were on the island of Patmos with John. There he caught a glimpse of Heaven. The fact it was holy and new was exciting. John saw this, and we, by faith, get a vivid picture in Revelation.
We’ve all attended weddings. After months of preparing for the big day, we see a beautiful bride ready to commit to marriage. She adorns herself in lovely attire, but her best accessory is the happy glow on her face. As John got the view of the holy city, he started writing down something we all could envision, “a bride adorned for her husband.”
Heaven is beyond description. Our finite minds can’t comprehend the awesome beauty of Heaven. John was an eyewitness, and he was probably overwhelmed by what he saw and wrote about. One day soon our Bridegroom will come for His Bride, the church. We will go to live with Him in the holy city. You might want to get out your sunglasses this week as we look at the city of Eternal Light.
