Of Tears

Of Tears:

The saying goes, “There will be no tears in Heaven.” Or, “There will be no crying in Heaven.” This is true and false. Let me explain.

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

In order for God to wipe the tears from our eyes, we must be crying. I believe when we enter into Heaven and we see Yeshuah Jesus, we will see His scars from the beating He took for us. We will see the nail holes in His wrists, and we will see the love in His eyes for us.

Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

This Lamb is none other than Yeshuah Jesus. Here in the midst of the throne He stands, still bearing the scars of the whipping, the disfigurement of His face after being beaten and His beard being ripped out. I believe this is what we will behold when we step into eternity. This will be one reason we will cry. Imagine that if you can. Seeing our Savior standing there still bearing the marks of the crucifixion, “stood a Lamb as it had been slain,”. The only man made thing in Heaven will be the scars of Yeshuah. (For a deeper study on The Scars of Christ go to my web page at the link at the bottom of this post.)

The second reason I believe we will cry when we enter in to Heaven is, that when we see Christ we will immediately think of all we could have done for the Lord and didn't, and all we did do, that we shouldn't have done. But, God in great love and compassion will reach out to each of us and gently touch our cheeks and eyes and wipe the tears away. There will nevermore be any crying. Memories of this earth that caused so much grief and pain will be no more. The former things are long passed away. Now, all is new.

Selah, I.H.G.
