This Children’s Day message speaks honestly about sadness and death without allowing them the final word. Revelation’s picture of the new creation centers on God’s nearness: he personally wipes tears and removes everything that now wounds life. Christian hope is not pretending pain is small; it is trusting the risen Jesus and the promised future he has secured. The imagery invites children and the whole church to bring grief to God, comfort one another, and live toward the world in which love and life remain.
