“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
They are higher than the heavens-what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths of the grave -what can you know?
Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
(Job 11:7-9, NIV)

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, they must deny themself and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeits their soul? Or what can a person give in exchange for their soul?

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a spouse beautifully dressed for their intended. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with people, and God will live with them. They will be God’s people, and God will be with them and be their God. God will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” The One who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
