Witnessing to the Truth

Revelation 22:1-7   The Message

22 1-5 Then the Angel showed me Water-of-Life River, crystal bright. It flowed from the Throne of God and the Lamb, right down the middle of the street. The Tree of Life was planted on each side of the River, producing twelve kinds of fruit, a ripe fruit each month. The leaves of the Tree are for healing the nations. Never again will anything be cursed. The Throne of God and of the Lamb is at the center. His servants will offer God service—worshiping, they’ll look on his face, their foreheads mirroring God. Never again will there be any night. No one will need lamplight or sunlight. The shining of God, the Master, is all the light anyone needs. And they will rule with him age after age after age.

Don’t Put It Away on the Shelf

6-7 The Angel said to me, “These are dependable and accurate words, every one. The God and Master of the spirits of the prophets sent his Angel to show his servants what must take place, and soon. And tell them, ‘Yes, I’m on my way!’ Blessed be the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
 
For Reflection
How beautiful is the future in the Kingdom of God.  Lead by the servants of God, nations are healed, nothing is cursed, darkness is defeated and the fruit of the servants will endure age after age.  We who fear God are the servants commissioned to bring to realization the Kingdom of God.   We, through living creative lives, following Jesus, are charged to keep the word of the prophecy.

Pray
that you will lead others to the realization of God's promise.  Pray that you will lead a life of witness to the Resurrection.
