THE LAST WORD!

REVELATION 22:21

"May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's Holy people."

Have you ever noticed how some people like to have the last word in any conversation?  No matter how long the conversation goes on or how many topics are covered there is always that last word to be said.  The Bible is so complete and complex that it takes more than a lifetime to digest and understand.  Only God is omniscient and knows it all, we can never be like him.  The question then becomes, what was the last thing that the Lord Jesus placed in His Word?  I believe that it is not an accident that the truth for today was THE LAST WORD!

The final prayer in the Bible begins with a petition that blessing and favor, that is the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, be with all His saints.   The Messiah is praying for His Holy people.  Those of us who have been set apart by Jesus Christ and are exclusively His should be given a full portion of grace, blessing and favor.  Our answer is, may it be so Lord!  The grace of the Lord Jesus be with us all.  Even at the end of His Holy Word the Lord was praying for us and He said it when He also said, "I am coming soon"!

Do you feel like you are being favored by God?  Do you feel like you are receiving God's blessings every day?  Do  you know that you are living by the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ? 
Are you one of God's Holy people?  If your answer is yes then Amen!  If the answer to the above questions is no, then stop right now and consider your position.  You have made a choice by rejecting or not accepting the gift of Salvation that Jesus Christ has offered you.  You are responsible for your choice.  There are consequences to your choices and one of those is that you will not receive the Grace of Jesus Christ the Lord God.  Who gets THE LAST WORD?
