3851 — Sorrow after Christ Comes

By J. F.

Will there be sorrow after Christ comes, among His people? J. F.

It would seem so from the fact that freedom from sorrow is not promised till the new-earth state begins. See Isa. 65:17; Rev. 21:1-5. It would be expected that when God's children examined all the records of the deeds of men, during the thousand years (Rev. 20:4; 1 Cor. 6:2, 3), they would weep over their own mistakes and over the loss of friends; but when that examination is finished they will see such manifestations of God's love and grace that they will be constrained to believe and acknowledge His mercy-tempered justice. Thenceforth there shall be no more sorrow nor sin nor tears nor pain. The former things are passed away.
