“He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.”
Christ's last words in all of Scripture are not a warning but a promise — 'I am coming soon' closes the Bible with hope, not with dread.
After millennia, 'soon' still holds true — God's timing isn't delay but patience that still invites sinners toward repentance.
John doesn't just hear the promise — he answers 'Amen,' teaching you that true faith always agrees wholeheartedly with what God has declared.
This is the church's oldest and simplest prayer — before asking God for many things today, ask first for himself, for his coming.
The Bible's final word is not judgment but grace — the same gift that carried you on day 1 is what carries you now, on day 365.
Act: Today, pray aloud 'Come, Lord Jesus,' thank God for this whole year in the Word, and tomorrow return to day 1 to begin the journey again from Genesis.
