Day 90

Scripture Reading: Revelation 20-22

SCRIPTURE - Revelation 22:20

20He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

OBSERVATION - The Bible ends with Jesus’ promise that he is coming soon to which John responds, “Come, Lord Jesus”  This longing is shared by all true Christians. (1) This prayer is a confession that until he comes our redemption remains incomplete, evil and sin are not yet overthrown, and this world is not yet renewed. (2) We have every reason to believe that the day is fast approaching when he who is called “The Word of God (19:13) and “the bright Morning Star” (v.16) will come down from heaven to take his faithful away from the earth to his Father’s house, after which he will triumphantly return in glory to reign forever as “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” (19:16).  This is our unfailing hope and joyful expectation.

APPLICATION - The time is getting closer, it is getting nearer to the return of our saviour so we must be ready to say as John did, “Come Lord Jesus.”  As aware we are of the attributes of God and how we are to live our lives we often disregard the imminent return of our saviour.  Let us ever be aware of this reality, this is truly the reason why we live and follow our Lord Jesus Christ.  Come Lord Jesus, we’re ready!

PRAYER - Come Lord Jesus I am ready. May my life live like this statement is true each day as I walk with you, may I share the love that you have so graciously and freely given to me.  In Jesus name, Amen.

So I hope you have enjoyed walking with us through the New Testament in 90 Days.  It has truly been an inspiring journey once again as each day brought new insights and wisdom that could only be gleaned from the Holy Spirit.  May your daily devotions continue and may you continue to grow in Wisdom and you seek the one who freely gives wisdom.
