Come, Lord Jesus | The God Story
Revelation 21:1-7, 22:17
God’s Story of Redemption through the lives of nine people:
- ADAM and CREATION
- ABRAHAM and PROMISE
- MOSES and PROVISION
- RUTH and UNIVERSAL
- DAVID and PERSONAL
- ZEDEKIAH and PRIDE
- JESUS and HOPE
- CHURCH and INVITATION
Is what we’ve been asked to wait for, WORTH WAITING for?
God ISN’T satisfied with the status quo either.
- GOD and ANTICIPATION
Revelation is a book of PROPHECY.
DOUBT is the natural response to prophecy.
Prophecy always elicits HOPE.
Revelation 21:1-7 pg. 1,937
v.1 “Then I saw a NEW heaven and a NEW earth, for the FIRST heaven and the first earth had PASSED away, and there was no longer any SEA.”
v.3 “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, NOW the dwelling of God is with His people, and He will live WITH them. They will be His PEOPLE and God HIMSELF will be with them and be there God.”
v.4 “He will WIPE every TEAR from their eyes. There will be no more DEATH or MOURNING or CRYING or PAIN, for the OLD order of things has passed AWAY.”
v.5 “He who was seated on the throne said, I am making everything NEW! Then He said, write this down for these WORDS are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE.”
v.7 “And the one who OVERCOMES will inherit all of this and I will be their God and they will be MY child.”
“The Spirt and the bride say, Come! And let whoever hears say, Come! WHOEVER is THIRSTY let them come; and whoever wishes, let them take the FREE GIFT of the water of LIFE.” Revelation 22:17
