What Dreams May Come: Wiping Away Every Tear (Revelation 21:4)

In What Dreams May Come, Chris Nielsen dies and enters a heaven painted from his wife's artwork. But when his wife commits suicide and goes to hell, he descends to rescue her. "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more." The film imagines what Revelation promises—tears wiped away, death defeated. But it adds something profound: love that won't abandon the beloved even in hell. God's promise isn't passive waiting; it's active pursuit. Christ descended to the dead. Love goes where the beloved is, even into darkness, to bring them home.
