Still Bearing Wounds

The re-creation will far surpass the pre-fall creation, partly because it will embody the remembered triumph over sin. The risen Jesus still bears the wounds of the cross (John 20:27) The New Jerusalem has the Lamb as its light, victorious but once slain (Rev. 13:8; 21:23), and at its center stands a tree that memorializes his healing work (22:2). There will be no crying, but it will not be as if sin never happened.

Quoted from Punishment God Cannot Twice Inflict by Garry J. Williams in From Heaven He Came and Sought Her: Definite Atonement in Historical, Biblical, Theological, and Pastoral Perspective.
