I was wondering yesterday about the passage in Revelation that says God will wipe away all our tears. It comes at the end of everything, so I think for a while, there will be tears in heaven.
I pondered this yesterday as I was listening to a song and thinking about Jesus’ righteousness. It becomes more and more precious to me, the more I grasp that His lived-on-earth righteousness is applied to me, as well as His righteous death is applied to save me. The more I grasp my utter inability to reach God’s standards except through faith in Jesus Christ.
And when I think about these things, I cry. I think it’s because we’re finite and human, and our bodies can only handle so much of spiritual reality before we start to explode, so to speak, in tears or some other emotional outlet.
So I wondered if I would still cry in heaven about how beautiful Jesus is, or if my body there will be able to bear these deep spiritual truths.
