“The absence of all evil will be another feature of the coming glory. Take the long catalog of ills we suffer here –the cares that corrode, the anxieties that agitate, the sorrows that depress, the bereavements that wound, the diseases that waste, the temptations that assail -- in a word, whatever pains a sensitive mind, or wounds a confiding spirit; the rudeness of some, the coldness of others, the unfaithfulness and heartlessness of yet more; and as you trace the sad list, think of glory as the pace where not one shall enter. All, all are entirely and eternally absent. “God shall wipe away al tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, more crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
Octavius Winslow No Condemnation in Christ Jesus
