Wednesday

Read Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

12 “Listen!” says Jesus. “I am coming soon! I will bring my rewards with me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 Happy are those who wash their robes clean and so have the right to eat the fruit from the tree of life and to go through the gates into the city.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to announce these things to you in the churches. I am descended from the family of David; I am the bright morning star.”
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!”
Everyone who hears this must also say, “Come!”
Come, whoever is thirsty; accept the water of life as a gift, whoever wants it.

20 He who gives his testimony to all this says, “Yes indeed! I am coming soon!”
So be it. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone.i

Think

As John receives this Revelation he is - like Paul and Silas in a sort of prison, in exile on Patmos.  In his vision he receives the same hope that Paul and Silas express in their prison experience:  The promise that Jesus is Lord, and he will return to put the world right.

Pray

Lord help me to see the way John sees in the book of Revelation.His eyes are filled with hope.
