“Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”

Today’s devotion comes from Revelation 22:20-21.

“He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.”  Amen.  Come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.  Amen.”  Revelation 22:20-21.

“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.”  And let the one who hears say, “Come.”  …”  Revelation 22:17.

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth;  for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak;  and He will disclose to you what is to come.”  John 16:33.

“… Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing;  but that she would be holy and blameless.”  Ephesians 5:25-27.

“I will rejoice greatly in the LORD,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” Isaiah 61:10.

Consider the following from the Heidelberg Catechism.

Q. 52.  What comfort is it to thee that “Christ shall come again to judge the quick and the dead”?

A.  That in all my sorrows and persecutions, with uplifted head I look for the very same person who before offered Himself for my sake to the tribunal of God, and has removed all curse from me, to come as judge from heaven;  who shall cast all His and my enemies into everlasting condemnation, but shall translate me with all His chosen ones to Himself, into heavenly joys and glory.

“in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:8.

“Hurry, my beloved,
And be like a gazelle or a young stag
On the mountains of spices.” Song of Solomon 8:14.
