Jesus suffered humiliation for the whole world to see because He loved us so much and wanted to have us spend eternity with Him, if we believe and receive His gift of eternal life.
The grave and death could not hold Him because He is the ruler of all the kings and leaders of this earth. All other spiritual leaders are still in the grave.

It is amazing how much Jesus loves us.
He proved it by providing Himself as a blood sacrifice for our failures. It is so wonderful to realize that the God of Heaven was willing to leave Heaven and was willing to be slapped, spit upon, beaten with a leather whip with pieces of steal tearing the flesh to the bone, then having His beard pulled out by the roots, having a crown with long sharp thorns pushed onto His head, then nailed to a cross, one nail in each hand and one through both feet, all for us!

I, John, warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to this, God will strike him with the plagues that are written in this book. If anyone takes away any words from this book of prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the holy city that are described in this book.
Then the angel said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy in this book because the time is near. Let those who don’t have God’s approval go without it, and let filthy people continue to be filthy. Let those who have God’s approval continue to have it, and let holy people continue to be holy.”
I, John, heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them, I bowed to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things.
He told me, “Don’t do that! I am your coworker. I work with other Christians, the prophets, and those who follow the words in this book. Worship God!”
The angel showed me a river filled with the water of life, as clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and the lamb.
Between the street of the city and the river there was a tree of life visible from both sides. It produced 12 kinds of fruit. Each month had its own fruit. The leaves of the tree will heal the nations.
There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and the lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him and see his face. His name will be on their foreheads.
There will be no more night, and they will not need any light from lamps or the sun because the Lord God will shine on them.
They will rule as kings forever and ever.
I did not see any temple in it, because the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are its temple.
The city doesn’t need any sun or moon to give it light because the glory of God gave it light. The lamb was its lamp. The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.

Its gates will be open all day. They will never close because there won’t be any night there. They will bring the glory and wealth of the nations into the holy city. Nothing unclean, no one who does anything detestable, and no liars will ever enter it.
Only those whose names are written in the lamb’s Book of Life will enter it.
