Z – Zion, Our Heavenly Home

“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come, and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.” (Revelation 22:17)
Scripture Focus: Revelation 21-22

The last two chapters of the Bible describe life in Zion, our heavenly home. What we read quickens our desire to be there. We need to disentangle ourselves from the best this world offers and try to imagine being forever in the presence of our great God; the absence of death, sorrow, and mourning. God will wipe all tears from our eyes. Sickness, pain, sin, and the anguish of regret will be banished forever.

In our heavenly home we will be made whole and perfected so that we can worship our Savior with undivided hearts. Our love will be made complete, and our joy will be in pleasing Him with our willing service, doing whatever He asks of us.

Heaven’s gates are open today. The invitation is still being offered. But the door of salvation will not always be open, for “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).

Are you ready to be welcomed into your forever home in Zion?

Insight: Can you echo the request, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus”
