All Things New: A Study in RevelationЗразок

What does it say? John continued his description of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, with the river of the water of life flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb. What does it mean? John’s vision in the final chapter of Revelation paints a picture of God’s impending victory. Believers through the ages are participants in God’s incredible story – a story of redemption for whoever wishes to accept the gift of the water of life. The Spirit of God and His bride, the church, invite all to Christ. The Lord Jesus promises that each one will be rewarded according to his actions. His followers eagerly wait for the return of the victorious King, the Lamb of God, who testifies, “I am coming soon.” How should I respond? What thoughts immediately come to mind when you read about Christ’s return? Are you ready or overly focused on your plans here and now? With each passing day, Jesus’ imminent return should propel us to be more mature in our faith. Take a spiritual inventory to prepare for the coming year. What spiritual fruit would you like to experience in your life this year? Determine what must take place to get there. Take time in the new year to pray – asking God for the wisdom and strength to make those changes. Will you commit to living this year in expectation of Christ’s return?
