Remember… “All scripture is God-breathed and useful”(2 Timothy 3:16)

The vision of the New Jerusalem as articulated in Revelation 21:15-27 is a profound exploration of radical inclusion and environmental justice. Through the lens of this scripture, we are invited to reflect upon the characteristics of a city envisioned by divine providence, where the absence of traditional temples underscores the notion that the divine presence transcends physical structures. The text posits that God and the Lamb embody the essence of the temple, suggesting a paradigm shift in our understanding of sacred spaces. This radical reimagining challenges us to recognize the sanctity found within our communities and the pursuit of justice, rather than confining divinity to religious edifices. Furthermore, the portrayal of the city as one illuminated by God's glory rather than celestial bodies presents an ancient yet relevant vision of sustainability, beckoning us to consider our contemporary environmental responsibilities and the imperative for sustainable urban planning in light of today's pressing ecological crises.

Furthermore, the concept of radical inclusion emerges prominently within this narrative. The depiction of nations walking in the light of God suggests a divine endorsement of diversity and multiculturalism as integral to the divine plan. However, the admonition that nothing impure shall enter the city serves not merely as a prohibition, but rather as an ethical challenge to dismantle systems of oppression that defile our communities. This intricate tapestry of inclusion and ethical standards invites us to engage in active reflection and tangible actions that foster inclusivity and justice in our own lives. Ultimately, the episode concludes with a call to action, urging us to identify barriers that separate the sacred from the secular and to take concrete steps toward dismantling these barriers, thereby embodying the vision of the New Jerusalem in our everyday lives.
