In Revelation 21, John gives us a vision of the New Heaven and New Earth - it is something to look forward to and certainly to give us Hope for Life beyond the grave. If you want to read that passage then click here to read it again.
The question I ask is this: "What are we to do, while we wait?" Surely we can't just twiddle our thumbs and sit around doing nothing, while we wait for that glorious day? I think part of the answer lies in Jesus words:
"A New Command I give you: Love one
another. As I have loved you, so you must love another. By this all people will
know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:34-35
If could occupy our time by LOVING in the way that Jesus loved, then I believe we will transform the world 'while we wait.'
These well known words we given by Jesus to his disciples, even after he had told them that Judas would betray him. This teaches us that Love is not a nice thing we offer to people when we are in the mood, but a conscious choice, despite the way they may treat us.
