“Both the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ Let anyone who hears, say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely.” (v. 17)

Revelation illuminates so much.

It tells us the truth of what is to come. It assures is of the reality of judgment—of human works, but also of the enemy. It points us to the promise of what is to come. And, ultimately, it ties the end to the beginning, because Jesus’ people will know His presence, just as they did in the first garden.

All of that is illuminated in the Revelation.

What’s left?

Invitation!

The Spirit of God still draws people—still draws you—to Jesus. The church, which is Jesus’ bride, urges you toward Him, too. The invitation to drink living water, to find life in Him, and to enter these very gates is still open. We pray it. We offer it. And, by grace through His Spirit, you and your neighbors and the nations can still come.

Illumination leads to invitation.

Jesus is coming soon!

Won’t you come to Him?
