There is the New Jerusalem,
"having the glory of God," her light "like unto a stone most precious, even
like a jasper stone, clear as crystal." Rev. 21:11. Saith the Lord, "I will
rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people." Isa. 65:19. "The tabernacle of God
is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself
shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things are passed away." Rev. 21:3, 4.

In the city of God
"there shall be no night." None will need or desire repose. There will be no
weariness in doing the will of God and offering praise to His name. We shall ever feel the
freshness of the morning,

and shall ever be far from its close. "And they need no
candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light." Rev. 22:5. The
light of the sun will be superseded by a radiance which is not painfully dazzling, yet
which immeasurably surpasses the brightness of our noontide. The glory of God and the Lamb
floods the holy city with unfading light. The redeemed walk in the sunless glory of
perpetual day.
