Spurgeon preaches on the promise that God will wipe away all tears from the eyes of believers, emphasizing that the current world is filled with sorrow, but it is temporary. He highlights the hope of a new heaven and earth where there will be no more pain or weeping, as God will dwell among His people, bringing eternal joy. Spurgeon encourages believers to look forward to the day when their tears will cease, reminding them that while weeping may last for a night, joy will come in the morning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 21:4) Yes, we shall carne to this if we are believers. Sorrow shalt cease, and tears shall be wiped away. This is the world of weeping, but it passes away. There shall be a new heaven and a new earth, so says the first verse of this chapter; and therefore there will be nothing to weep over concern- ing the Fall and its consequent miseries. 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. What will our state be when there will be no more sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain? This will be more glorious than we can as yet imagine. O eyes that are red with weeping, cease your scalding flow, for in a little while ye 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 cometh in the morning." Come, Lord, and tarry not; for now both men and women must weep! ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/ch-spurgeon/tears-shall-cease/ ========================================================================
