As a friend and I were talking about the book of Revelation – you know, the conversation about Judgment Day and the End Times that contains so many “what if’s” and wonderings – it occurred to me that John, the disciple who received the revelation from God first-hand, concluded with a resounding “Come, Lord Jesus!” John saw the extent of suffering that would come upon the saints as well as upon the whole world; he understood many of the things about which we can only theorize, and yet he was so overcome with God’s goodness, glory, and victory that he, in a sense, raises a sword and cries, “Let’s DO IT! Let’s WIN THIS BATTLE!”

His testimony provides me with a deep sense of peace concerning so many unanswered questions about the future.

Come, Lord Jesus!
