A Few Words Before I Go预览
The Lord Jesus does not leave His children
“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.” (Revelation 22:20-21)
The last words of the Bible are by no means a farewell. Rather, we read here that the Lord Jesus will come back to earth! What an encouraging conclusion to the Bible! The book is closed; nothing more can be added to it. But the ‘story’ of God with humans has not ended. An eternal future still awaits in which the Lord God will dwell among men on a new, perfect earth. This last chapter of the Bible writes wonderful things about that. On the new earth there will be a pure river of living water. The ‘tree of life’ is there, too. There won’t be darkness anymore. But most important of all: there God the Father and the Lord Jesus sit on Their throne, and all people who believe in Them may be in Their presence forever. This includes a warning: there is no place on the new earth for people who oppose God and refuse to live according to His will (Revelation 22:15). So it is very important that your relationship with the Lord God is right before you die!
John, the writer of this Bible book, eagerly looks forward to Jesus' return. He sighs, “Amen, Come Lord Jesus!” Is that your longing, too? What can help you to intensify that longing?

It’s often hard to say goodbye to people. Especially if they are leaving for a long time or even dying. In such situations, we attach great importance to the last words someone tells us. In the Bible we also read several examples of people who had something important to say before they died or left. Let’s read their last words together.
