No more curse

And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. - Revelation22v3

I am starting to enjoy the 'no mores' of New Jerusalem. Today's is another goodie.

If we look back to Genesis we come we remember what we generally call 'The Curse' which came as a result of Adam and Eve's sin. Among other things man was forced to live by the sweat of his brow, there would be pain in childbirth, there would be a constant battle of submission, agriculture would be difficult, and Satan would be a constant bother, and man would no longer have joy in the precense of God. In general living would be much tougher in the sin cursed world.

Ever since that day we have had to live under the curse of sin. Things don't go well. Work is hard. It is a troublesome world and the people who are in it are troubled with troubles almost every minute (than you Dr. Suess). Life can be a bit challenging and sometimes those curse caused challenges can overcome us.

One day all the results of the curse will be gone. Sin will no longer reign. We will be able to serve the Lamb instead of sin. Until then though we might as well get used to it. Life is just going to be tough.
