SERMON NOTES
COME, LORD JESUS!
(Revelation 22:16-21)
– last words of the Bible
1. The King and Saviour is the God-man.
– 22:16; root and offspring, source and descendant
– Matt.22:41-46; Rev. 2:28; 5:5
2. All are freely invited to come to Christ.
– 22:17; the Spirit, the Church, and ordinary Christians all say ‘Come’. Salvation is free (Matt.11:28)
– it is a river of grace (John 4:10-15); ‘freely’ is the same word in Rom.3:24
3. The Christian is eager that Christ come again.
– 22:20; life rushes past quickly
– this testimony is both true and complete (22:18-19; see Deut.4:2; 12:32; Prov.30:5-6)
– 1 Cor.16:22
