Today is Saturday, August 25, 2018. Hi. My name is Adam Burton and you are listening to The Daily Divo, a short devotional designed to help you apply God's Word to your life. The content comes from the Gospel Project.
Take a few moments and read Revelation, chapter 21, verses 1 through 8, and chapter 22 verses 1 through 15. Revelation is a book about the true, lasting hope we have in Jesus. While there are some chilling scenes and images in the book, they are not the focus. We cannot discount God's coming judgment on the world, but ultimately Revelation is not about that.
Revelation is about Jesus' return. Jesus is the victorious in the end. And so are we. Jesus will return to make all things new.
He will wipe away every tear from every eye, and He will put to death, to death, once and for all. And we will be with Him forever. What do you long for most when you think of eternity? Because all things are broken, all things need to be unbroken by our victorious God.
Sin has ravaged creation, separating us from God and introducing chaos into a once-ordered world. But we will not stay this way. God, the good judge, will punish evil doers and He will reward His Son, the only innocent person to ever live. And through Jesus' innocence and His sacrifice on the cross, we will stand with Him, pardoned by our divine judge.
God loves His people, and He sent Jesus to show us that. God did not leave us in our sin. Rather, He ensured that we spend eternity with Him, which has been His plan all along. That is a story of Revelation.
That is the story of Jesus. That is the gospel. If you are in need of prayer, please get in touch with me. I would love to pray for you.
