In this time of transition to a new year it only seemed appropriate for me to quote the “ageless One” – “the One who is, and who was, and who is to come!” (Revelation 1:4, 8, 4:8) So I could think of nothing better for your New Year’s message in “coffee with the Lord” to be “IN HIS OWN WORDS!” Here it is…
“BEHOLD, I AM COMING SOON! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy. BEHOLD, I AM COMING SOON, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things! I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star. The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
“HE WHO TESTIFIES TO THESE THINGS SAYS, ‘SURELY I AM COMING SOON! AMEN!’”
My response? “COME, LORD JESUS!!!”
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen.
(From Revelation 22 ESV)
