Tears Shall Cease
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
~ Revelation 21:4
"For believers sorrow shall cease and tears shall be wiped away. Now is the world of weeping, but there shall be a new heaven and new earth (Rev. 21:1) and therefore there will be nothing to weep over. Read the second verse, and note how it speaks of the bride and her marriage. The Lamb's wedding is a time for boundless pleasure, and tears would be out of place.
The third verse says that God Himself will dwell among men; and surely at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore, and tears can no longer flow. O eyes that are red with weeping cease your flow, for in a little while you shall know no more tears! None can wipe tears away like the God of love, but He is coming to do it. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Ps. 30:5)."
