The Lord Is There | Revelation 21–22

After walking Scripture by Scripture through the Book of Revelation, we arrive at the final two chapters and the destination toward which the entire Bible has been moving.

The story began in a garden with God dwelling with humanity. Sin brought separation, death, pain, and the curse. But Revelation 21–22 shows us what Jesus has been accomplishing through redemption: He is bringing His people home.

In this final message of our Revelation series, Pastor Chris Appleton walks through the New Heaven and New Earth, the New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ, the River of Life, the return of the Tree of Life, and the incredible promise that “there shall be no more curse.”

No more death.
No more sorrow.
No more crying.
No more pain.
No more night.
No more separation.

And greater than the streets of gold, the gates of pearl, or the beauty of the city is this promise:

“And they shall see his face.” — Revelation 22:4

From Eden to the Tabernacle, from the Temple to Jesus, from the Cross to the Church, the entire story has been about the presence of God dwelling with His people.

And Revelation ends with one final invitation:

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.”

Jesus responds:

“Surely I come quickly.”

And the Church answers:

“Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

The Bible began with God and humanity together, and it ends the same way.
