Thank you for continuing this journey of The Gospel Project®
for Kids. Today’s Bible account focuses on the last few chapters of the
Book of Revelation. While he was a prisoner on the island of Patmos,
the apostle John had an amazing vision of heaven. Jesus told John to
write down everything he saw. John saw things that will happen when
Jesus comes back to earth. Jesus—who entered Jerusalem humbly on a
donkey—will come victoriously, riding on a white horse. His name will be
on His robe and His thigh:
KING OF KINGS
AND LORD OF LORDS.
Satan
and the evil ones will be defeated and thrown into the lake of fire.
The Lord will be on His throne. Then out of heaven will come a new
creation—a new heaven and a new earth. God will dwell with humanity.
They will be His people, and He will be their God.
John
described the beauty of the New City—the New Jerusalem. The streets
will be pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the city wall
will be adorned with precious stones. The city will not need the sun or
the moon because God’s glory will illuminate it. There will be no
darkness, and nothing evil will ever come into the city.
The
promised return of Christ should fill believers with hope,
strengthening them to persevere through the trials of this life and
remain faithful to the Lord. When Christ returns, those who trust in Him
will be with Him and enjoy Him forever. God will undo every bad thing
caused by sin—no more death, no more pain, no more tears. Jesus is
making all things new!
Christ’s
return should also give believers a sense of urgency to share the
gospel with the world. It is the power of God for salvation to everyone
who believes! (Romans 1:16) Jesus is coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord
Jesus!
