A Revelation Of Grace!
"Grace to you and peace from
Him who is and who was and
who is to come."
Revelation 1: 4
Book of Revelation is ominous
and overwhelming,
but it opens and closes with grace. In his prologue
in Revelation 1:4, John says, “Grace to you and
peace from
Him who is and who was and who is
to come.”
And at the end of the book, Revelation 22:21 says,
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.” Scripture’s last book opens and closes with
God’s grace.
The whole message of Revelation is that God has a
plan for this world that will deal with evil and lead His
children to eternal glory. Our future is assured by Him
who was, and who is, and who is to come.
Wickedness of the world isn’t going to last forever.
The terror of warfare will run its course. Jesus will
overcome His
enemies and usher His children
into the place He has prepared for them.
God’s grace and mercy are on full display in
Revelation. Take a moment and rejoice in that
today. Your future in Christ is coming, and it is
wonderful! Praise His Name!
"The believer is grateful as to the past,
restful as to the present, and trustful
as to the future."
William Hendriksen
