Revelation 21-22

Discuss

Have you ever waited a long time for someone you love to come home? Maybe the person you love is on a trip for work, deployed in the military, or gone away for school. We may wait months for them to return, and sometimes it’s very hard. But there is nothing sweeter than the moment when that man or woman returns home to be reunited with those who love them.  
 
The final pages of the Bible are filled with hope about the day we will be reunited with Jesus! In his vision, John saw Jesus who said, “I am coming soon!” John saw the new heaven and new earth where believers will spend eternity with Jesus. In this place, there will be no more pain, no more crying, and no more death. Jesus will make all the wrong things right, and He will make everything new.  
 
The world eagerly awaits the day when Jesus will return.  As we wait, we can hold onto the promise that He is coming soon! Those who love Jesus will soon be reunited with Him! We will see Him face to face, and we will be able to worship Him forever. In the meantime, we continue to tell others the good news about Jesus and pray that Jesus comes quickly. 
 
Jesus promised to come back to earth soon. When Jesus returns, God will undo every bad thing caused by sin—no more death, no more pain, no more tears. Jesus is making all things new. 
How does it feel to think about a place with no crying, no pain, and no more death?

Act

For Fun
Bake round sugar cookies for your neighbors. Use icing and edible food markers to make the cookies look like a clock. As you enjoy the cookies, talk with kids about the promise that Jesus is coming soon. Discuss the other promises about the new heaven and new earth found in Revelation 21.

To Serve
Purchase wooden letters from a craft store or cut letters from cardboard to spell “FAITHFUL AND TRUE.” Give kids paints, permanent markers, and other supplies to decorate each letter. Assemble the letters on a sheet of craft plywood and hang the artwork in your home as a reminder that the promises of Jesus are faithful and true!
