And there shall be... It is the delight of the believer, on the authority of the Word of God, to think on what shall be. We do rejoice in some things that are now (Rom. 8:1; I John 3:2), but in regards to our salvation, how true are Solomon's words, "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof." Eccl. 7:8.
no more curse... One of the "all spiritual blessings" (Eph. 1:3) that we enjoy in the Lord Jesus Christ is that He has come and done away with the curse of God against us. The lost go through this word under this curse and while all things work together for good to God's chosen, all things work for evil to these cursed ones. All events and experiences, even the successes and temporal "good" shall all culminate in and contribute to the eternal damnation and woe of those who reject Christ. Transversely, all things, even the failure and suffering of God's sheep shall ultimately result in and be the means of our everlasting joy and security, through the merits of His sacrifice. Gal. 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.
but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it... What a comfort that whatever else may change, the One who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, shall REIGN forever! He is still where Stephen saw Him as He fell asleep (Acts 7:54-60). He is still where Isaiah beheld His glorious majesty in the year that King Uzziah died (Is. 6:1-5), and as Isaiah prophesied, of His kingdom there shall be no end (Is. 9: 7). Hallelujah!
and His servants shall serve Him... The curse came when Adam ceased to serve God in submission to His righteous authority and rebelled against Him. There is no danger of this ever happening again. Having the very righteousness of God's own Son, we are infallible. We gained better standing before God in Christ than we lost in Adam. With the very nature of God, we shall be incapable of any thought, word or deed which is not in total, mathematical agreement with His holy will. He is worthy of eternal praise.
