More To Come – Revival in the New Jerusalem

Introduction: What are we going to do in the New Jerusalem? Are you getting prepared? How is it going to be throughout all eternity? So what is life going to be like in this glorious city? This devotion will focus on these thoughts:

1. Fellowship with Jesus and other believers! (Rev 22:4)

“4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”

Imagine seeing the face of our Savior and Lord. Doesn’t that seem to be somewhat incomprehensible? But please note: We are marked men and women in heaven… but really actually right now in this life.

2. A life throughout eternity consisting of Serving Jesus! (Rev 22:3)

“3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.”

We need all the practice and experience we can get here on earth. Actually, we were created for that purpose; i.e. serving our Lord. How are you doing? Why are you doing what you are doing? To get a paycheck? To be recognized by men? To feel good about yourself? Checking our motives is extremely important. Do you agree?

3. Heavenly REST! (Rev 14:13)

“Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”

This kind of rest does not mean inactivity. Instead, it means resting in the work not from the work. Are you resting?

4. Holiness! (Rev 21:27)

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Our God is both loving and holy. That is why Jesus came to the earth and sacrificed His life’s blood. In other words, this holy God had to judge sin, and He did by becoming a perfect man without sin, and thus satisfying the holy demands of a holy God. That is why we must go through Jesus Christ to get to the Father (John 14:6).

5. Satisfaction! (Rev 21:6)

“6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

A life dedicated to Jesus Christ will be a life of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Conclusion: Worship will be at the center of the New Jerusalem.

“19 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God.” (Rev 19:1)

Serving, worship, fellowship… sounds like Church today doesn’t it? On the job training for heaven!
