The NIV 365 Day Devotional
Jesus’ Final Words
These are Jesus’ final words to his followers. With these words, all the wisdom that God has chosen to reveal to his people is complete. No other writings can compare with the words in this Bible, written down by people inspired by God.
These last words are Jesus’ final promises to his followers. And with John’s “Amen” in verse 20, these words ring throughout the centuries as the anthem of Christians from all times and all places.
The book of Revelation leaves no doubt that the risen, glorified Jesus will come to earth again one day to establish his eternal kingdom. On that day all people will be judged, and those who have accepted his offer of eternal life and freedom from sin will live with him forever. No one knows when that day will come. It may happen before you close the cover of this book. Don’t ignore Jesus’ words in verse 20.
The words of the Bible are trustworthy and true. Millions who have looked to Jesus for salvation and accepted his offer have found peace and hope for their lives that are beyond explanation. If you still haven’t made a commitment to trust in Christ, don’t postpone for one more day your decision to accept Jesus’ invitation. Just ask him to forgive you of your sin and to take away your guilt. It’s a decision that affects you for the rest of your life — both now and through all eternity.
