00:00:06 The last time we were here, we promised to return 00:00:08 and show you a scripture that can give us real hope. 00:00:11 Yeah, I’m interested in seeing that. 00:00:13 Great. 00:00:14 It’s here at Revelation 21:3, 4. 00:00:17 Susan, would you please read that? 00:00:19 Sure. 00:00:21 “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: 00:00:24 “‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, 00:00:27 “‘and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. 00:00:30 “‘And God himself will be with them. 00:00:32 “‘And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, 00:00:36 “‘and death will be no more, 00:00:38 “‘neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. 00:00:42 The former things have passed away.’” 00:00:45 Thank you. 00:00:46 So, what does this say that God will do? 00:00:49 It says that he’ll wipe out our tears, 00:00:53 take away death, and take away pain. 00:00:56 Exactly. 00:00:58 All of the problems that can make life seem hopeless today 00:01:01 —such as poverty, injustice, sickness, even death— 00:01:06 will no longer exist. 00:01:16 Have you ever read those words? 00:01:18 No! I’ve never seen them before. 00:01:21 Many people aren’t aware of the gems contained in God’s Word 00:01:25 because they feel it’s too difficult to understand. 00:01:29 The next time, I’d like to discuss the question, 00:01:31 How can we understand the Bible? 00:01:39 Would next Friday evening work for you? 00:01:42 Yeah, I should be home. 00:01:43 Great. 00:01:44 Before we go, perhaps we can exchange our contact information.
