“Surely I come quickly, Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Rev 22:20, 21).
This last benediction is not for all Christians, but only for those who believe the word, “Surely I come quickly,” and say, “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” All those who believe the promise of His coming and say “Amen” to it, receive one of the most wonderful blessings – the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. The grace mentioned in this last verse of the Bible, is only for those who believe His Coming and wait for it. There are many graces mentioned in the Word of God, such as, saving grace (Eph 2:7,8), etc. But the “grace” mentioned in here is the “grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Pet 1:13) – which can be called the grace that prepares us for the Coming of the Lord.
This grace does a marvelous work in our lives and gives us the blessed hope mentioned in I John 3:2,3: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.”
Dear child of God, do you want this grace that prepares us for His Coming? Every minute and every second, live in the readiness of His Coming. It is His grace that saved you, it is His grace that filled you with the Holy Spirit and kept you so far, and it is His grace that will keep you ready for the Rapture.
“The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come…Surely I come quickly” (Rev 22:17 & 20). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
