Revelation 22 - 7.23.24
SCRIPTURE: Revelation 22:6, 16-17, 20-21
“Then He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His slaves what must quickly take place.”
“I Jesus, have sent My angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star. Both the Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” Anyone who hears should say, “Come!” Whoever desires should take the living water as a gift.
He who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen! Come Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
OBSERVATION: The time is near! The book of Revelation ends where it began: with Jesus speaking through an angel to John, who, in turn relayed the message to the seven churches of Asia. The principles to live by are for believers of all time. The main principle that stands out from the beginning is that Jesus could return at any minute, and we are always to be ready!
APPLICATION: For those who haven’t received the gift of eternal life, Jesus is telling all lost humanity there is still time to repent. As Christ-followers, we must be diligent to share the Good News of Jesus Christ before He returns!
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, You are the source of life, and we have been given a beautiful glimpse of what it will be like when we see You face to face! The New Jerusalem will be a magnificent place to spend eternity, and the inhabitants will live forever in Your awesome presence! “This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent - Jesus Christ.
“ Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what will be has not been revealed. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure.” ( 1 John 3:2,3).
Thank You Lord that we have Your promise that one day You will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and death will no longer exist; grief, crying, and pain won’t exist either, because You, the One seated on the throne, are making all things new!
I pray we will depend on You to help us prepare to live in our eternal home, and that we will be diligent to share the Good News so that many others will join us!
