Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him;" — Revelation 22:3 (ASV)
And there shall be no more curse:
Of labour, of sin, of sorrow, of death.
But the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it:
So that we shall all be in the throne-room, all beholding the King in his beauty, and we ourselves shall be made his courtiers.
And his servants shall serve him: (Revelation 22:3).
That is heaven to me, for here we sometimes are unable to serve him as we would. We are distracted, worried, carried away from holy service by multitudes of cares, but there his servants shall serve him.
And there shall be no more curse:
The curse shall be taken from the soil on which it fell obliquely when God said to Adam, Cursed is the ground for thy sake. There shall be no curse upon man's body; there shall be nothing but blessing. Blessing shall swallow up the cursing, and God shall be manifest everywhere.
But the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
This is what we try to do now, but we shall more fully accomplish the blessed task in those brighter days which every revolution of the wheel of time is hastening on.
And there shall be no more curse:
No more thorns or thistles, no more pangs of child-bearing, no more sickness, or sorrow, or death.
But the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him:
They shall have nothing else to do, and it shall be their supreme delight to serve him perfectly and unceasingly.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Happy servants, to be permitted so to do! Here, dear friends, we are hindered in our service, but I think that it will be heaven enough for some of us to be permitted to serve the Lord for ever in glory: His servants shall serve him.
