"....For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17, NASB)
First, notice that the Lord Jesus Christ, "....the Lamb..," is, "....in the center of the throne," not on the throne, not beside the throne. It is the same as in 3:21, "The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father in His throne." (Interlinear Translation)
Second, notice that whatever tears we have shed here, "....God will wipe...from [our] eyes." And we know what that means, right? Tears wiped away, followed by no more tears.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray that my friends and I will continue to believe/accept Your "wonderful Words of life" to them and me. Your, "Words are Truth." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
