SCRIPTURE: Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
OBSERVATION: Here in the final verses of the book of Revelation, the final verses of the New Testament, the final verses of the Bible, we find the Holy Spirit. The same One present in Genesis 1:2 is here in Revelation 22:17.
One of the first things we learned about God from Genesis was that His speaks! One of the last things we see about God in the book of Revelation is that He speaks!
In Genesis we saw The Speaker, speaking the world into existence. Here we see The Speaker continuing to speak. Through the Spirit and the bride (the church) an invitation from God is extended to join in the fulfillment of the purposes of creation. God’s plan in creation is fulfilled in the acceptance of this invitation.
APPLICATION: In the past few months, teams of volunteers have taken SOAPs into countries of East Africa and into towns and villages of Sierra Leone. Thousands of people were able to hear “COME” and have responded to make Jesus the Lord of their lives.
Recently a team went out to visit the areas where people have responded to the gospel call. They found that God is continuing to move and people are continuing to respond to His call.
PRAYER: Lord, I have heard and accepted your gracious invitation. Use me to extend that call to others. Amen
