Heaven's Invitation (12 of 12)
Series: The Great Invitations of the Bible
Richard Bradley
Revelation 22:12-17
It's interesting that an invitation is the very last thing we find in the Bible. This invitation is based on the entirety of the Bible's message but especially the book of Revelation. Revelation's message is that Christ has risen and is now seated at the Father's right hand but is coming soon and it is for His coming that the Bible begs us to be ready.
How can we prepare? Unbelievers can be ready for the Lord's coming by resting in Jesus for eternal life and believers can be ready for the Lord's coming by living every day as if that were the day of His return. To do this we don't have to believe that Jesus is coming on any particular day but we have to believe He could!

I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.'' 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, ''Come!'' And let him who hears say, ''Come!'' And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
THE PRESSURE OF HEAVEN'S INVITATION
12 ''And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
The word ''quickly'' in verse 12 means ''without delay'' or ''suddenly and without warning.'' When we approach a traffic light that's about to turn red we receive a yellow warning light. There are all sorts of other warni ...
