Day 191: May 7, 2026 – Revelation 19-22 and Psalm 85-86

The most commonly used Scripture at the committal service, the part where the ashes or the body are buried, is found in Revelation 21 where we find the passage that there will be no more crying or weeping and, most importantly, death will be no more. This is what the people of John’s day needed to hear, and what has traction in our day and age of all times. We need to be consoled knowing that God will one day make all things new, that is also part of this Scripture. This is also the Scripture that reminds us that God is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. God provides the assurance that not only is God in control, but that there will be a new heaven and a new earth in the days to come. I also love the part of this Scripture that reminds us that one day will come when a temple will no longer be needed because God is our temple and just his presence in our midst is all we need. By the way, we are already in that time period. We no longer need a temple.
