“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
Yesterday we spoke a little about how God is not suddenly going to take away all the suffering in this world, but that you and I can have peace with God about our sins. However, did you know that one day the Lord Jesus is going to take away all the sin in this entire universe? Yes, His work on the cross not only takes away the sins of everyone that believes in Him, but that work He did was so great that one day all the sin in this world is going to be taken away. When that happens, there will never be another sin committed, and there will never be any suffering that is the effect of sin. Won’t that be wonderful?
By the time that happens, those who are saved will have been in heaven for 1,000 years, and of course no sin can ever enter heaven. But eventually, after the 1,000 years of the millennium, God is going to burn up this world, and create new heavens and a new earth, where sin will never come in. We have already seen this last week in 2 Peter 3:10-13.
We will not go into the details of all this, as we do not have space in this calendar to do this, but it is encouraging to realize that all sin is going to disappear from this world someday, and all the suffering and heartache that are the effects of sin.
