A New Heaven and a New Earth - A Sermon on Revelation 21:1

www.mljtrust.o...
The idea of Christian hope is criticized by the world as a mere fantasy. It seems foolish to many because of the proliferation of wars, chaos, and political tension across the globe. In this sermon on Revelation 21:1 titled “A New Heaven and a New Earth,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones teaches that hope is a main characteristic of the gospel itself and is the message of the Bible. Hope is an anchor for souls in the midst of chaos, not a reason for cynicism and disbelief. It is both optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. It is pessimistic as it reveals to the truth of the human condition. In stark and realistic terms, the Bible gives the diagnosis of the human heart as sinful and separated from God. This condition is true of every leader in the world. This is true but this is not where believers are left. The Bible gives an explanation for the human condition and also gives the hope of a new heaven and new earth where sorrow and sin are no more. Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages hearts in this sermon with the reminder that the gospel is immediately pessimistic but ultimately, and gloriously, optimistic. Listeners are reminded to set their eyes on the things of heaven as they await the new heaven and new earth.

I totally agree with the brother Martyn Lloyd-Jones. People label you as a negative person when you truly unveil the Gospel message.
The modern Churches seem to apologise for the negative consequences of Sin, trying to hold brief for God Whom many of us, even Christian leaders, do not seem to know as we ought. God help us To understand the true Gospel of our Lord n Saviour, Jesus Christ.
