What Does The Last Verse Of The Bible Say?

3/4/2020

1 Comment

 
Revelation 22:21 - The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. NASU 
​
  • Many Know How The Bible Begins 
Genesis 1:1 states, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."  We probably have all heard, read or quoted that verse at some time in our life.
 
How many of us could have quoted the last verse of the Bible? I know I couldn't have if I were asked before I started to work on this Pump Up.
 
As I was reading this last verse a thought came to me to slow down and reread this passage of scripture and so I did. 
 
Let's reread it slowly and dissect this verse:
 
"The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen"
 
What is GRACE? 
   
Here is a definition from (Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright © 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers) -
 
Favor or kindness shown without regard to the worth or merit of the one who receives it and despite what that same person deserves. Grace is one of the key attributes of God.

The Lord God is "merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth" (Ex 34:6). Therefore, grace is almost always associated with mercy, love, compassion, and patience as the source of help and with deliverance from distress.
 
The Christian were being persecuted during the writing of the book of Revelation. The last verse of the Bible talks about the Grace of the Lord Jesus and John under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is pronouncing a blessing upon all Christians.

The blessing is he wants the Lord Jesus' Grace to be with all Christians. 
  • This Gift Is For Us Also 
You might want to read this definition over and over from time to time and allow the promise that is given to us to comfort us especially in times of distress.
 
The "Favor and Kindness" or "Grace" of Jesus our Lord is with us.
 
I am not sure what you might be going through today, tomorrow, next week or next month but I can tell you this much if you are a Christian the "Grace" that comes from our Lord, Jesus Christ, is sufficient to get us through any trial.
 
Here is what He told the apostle Paul: And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." (2 Corin. 12:9)
 
This you can take to the bank. Jesus' grace is sufficient for us. 
  • Conclusion
Genesis starts by informing us God created the heavens and the earth.
 
Revelation concludes by John giving us a blessing and the blessing is the "Grace of Jesus" is with all believers.
 
Think About These:
 
Anyone in the world can give up; it is the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else in the world would understand if you quit, that is true courage.
 
Knowledge knows a fact. Wisdom knows what to do with that fact.

Stay Pumped,

Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me! Thank you Jesus! Amen.
Thank you Gary for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
