PRAYER AFTER RECEIVING THE HOLY COMMUNION
We thank THEE O Father who hast designed to feed us with the precious body and blood of His Son Our Saviour JESUS CHRIST. Grant that this Holy Communion may not bring fresh guilt upon us, but may give us salvation. Let it be upon us armour of faith and a shield of good resolution. Let it help us to fight against all our sins and wrong desires; and let it defend us against the assaults of the devil and the bad thoughts of our hearts and give us firm loyalty to Thee and a happy end, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Theme:The Presence of God
Topic:The Place of Comfort – No more Death
Text:Rev. 21:1-8
Aim:To teach us that with persevering faith in the Lord, we shall one day wake up in His everlasting arms, where there is eternal comfort, and no more death.
Introduction:
The pain of sickness, the sad news of death of a dear one, the
heart break of the lowering of the coffin to the grave and the grief
and sorrow are real to us. This is not the enable of life and living.
The Scriptures tell us that there shall be resurrection of the dead
some to everlasting life, others to everlasting condemnation
(Jn 5:25, 28-29). In this future glory, no one shall die again. Death
would have completed its work of transporting us into God’s full
presence where we shall have only comfort and eternal joy, as we
shall see in this study.
Study Guide:
1.How would you describe the presence of God from our text? Rev. 21:1-4.
2.How should Christians face earthly sorrows and pain especially death? Ps. 42:5; 1 Cor. 10:13; Jam. 1:12; 1Thess. 4:13-18.
3.How should the Church respond to their members who go through earthly sorrows and pain today? Rom. 12:15; Gal. 6:2; Jas. 1:27.
4.What perspective of death would bring us needed comfort? Rom. 14:7, 8; Phil. 1;22-23; Rev. 14:13.
Conclusion.
There is no alternative to the presence of God, be it in joy or in
pain. Are we happy? Let us rejoice in the Lord. Are we in pains? Let
us wait patiently on the Lord as well. He that said He has overcome
the world is true. Let’s believe Him and be of good cheer!
Food for Thought.
Weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
