Deep Contemplation of Revelation 21:23

The city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it.

Revelation 21:23

 

"WONDER in the better world, the inhabitants are independent of all creature comforts. They have no need of raiment; their white robes never wear out, neither shall they ever be defiled. 

They need no medicine to heal diseases.....

---they doubtless commune with one another concerning the things of God, but they do not require this by way of instruction; they shall all be taught of the Lord. 

---Here we lean upon the friendly arm, but there they lean upon their Beloved and upon Him alone. 

---Here we use the bucket to fetch us water from the well, but there they drink from the fountain head, and put their lips down to the living water. 

---They shall need no Gabriels there to bring their love-notes from God, for there they shall see Him face to face. 

Our souls shall then have attained the perfection of bliss."  

Charles Spurgeon
