What does it say?
When Jesus returns to the earth to defeat his enemies, there is a great celebration in Heaven.
What does it mean?
Today’s passage lays out the outcome for the righteous and the ungodly. The faithful will be united with Christ, followed by a celebration, praising God for His defeat of the religious system that had corrupted the world and for the marriage of Christ and His bride, the saints. On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode humbly into Jerusalem on a donkey, but He will return as the majestic King of the earth. The saints will be adorned in the cleanest and whitest linens to signify their purity. Their righteousness is not their own – but the righteousness of Christ given to them by God Himself.
How should I respond?
Do you get upset when you discover the story's ending before finishing a book? Knowing the victorious end to God’s story in human history gives us the ability to have unwavering hope and anticipation for what is to come. Yet we cannot wrap our minds around the significance of what it means to be genuinely clothed in His righteousness. Are you counting on your good deeds to get into Heaven? In God’s sight, our righteous acts “are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). It’s only by accepting Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross that you’re covered in His righteousness. Are you dressed for the wedding?
關於此計劃
Exiled on the island of Patmos, John wrote the book of Revelation to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. The book opens with encouragement and warnings for the seven churches and is followed by a series of end-times visions. Revelation’s powerful imagery assures believers of Jesus’ coming return, His triumph over all His enemies, and the establishment of His kingdom that will know no end.
