In Revelation 21':9-27, John sees a vision of the new heaven and earth as a radiant, eternal city that embodies God's redeeming love. Through the rich imagery of a city adorned with jewels, guarded by angels, and illuminated by God's glory, the passage reveals a future where God's presence is fully realized, the temple is obsolete because God Himself is the dwelling place, and all creation is restored to Edenic perfection. The sermon emphasizes that this eternal state is not for the self-righteous but for the forgiven, where every longing of the soul—homesickness, love, and belonging—is fulfilled in Christ, calling believers to live with holy anticipation, knowing that only those cleansed by the Lamb's blood will enter.
