WHAT LASTS FOREVER? Revelation 22:3
Everything seems so fragile these days. News gets old in seconds, emails in hours, movies in days, electronic gadgets in weeks, cars in months, and buildings in years. Nothing seems enduring in our world.
We live more and more in a world that is temporary. From the delete button on the email screen to the trash can on our digital cameras—everything seems to be short-lived. All around us, we see decay, even on the cosmic level, everything is headed towards what physicists call ‘heat death’.
When we get to the end of everything–what is left? In other words, what will last forever?
The Bible ends with the book called Revelation. The last chapter is Revelation 22, and that last chapter ends with only three things left in eternity that really matter: God, Heaven and one more element—servants serving God.
So we need to get a grip on who God’s servants are and how they serve. All that lasts are God and those who serve Him; that is what God’s Word is all about. If we are to someday spend eternity serving God, how are we doing at our current serving?
Have you paused to notice who are those surrounding God’s Throne?
Revelation 22:3 And 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. NKJV
Revelation 22:6, 9 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. 9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” NKJV
There are almost three thousand biographical portraits in the Bible. In fact, the Bible is the single greatest source of biographical information from antiquity. There are more different individuals from a wider scope of history recorded in God’s Word than any other single source in the world.
Most of the lives recorded in the Bible are only mentioned by name, but some are very clearly examined and analyzed by God. Those deeply explained lives give us great reasons to pause and listen to what God may have to say about them. After all He took the time and went to all the effort to capture these portraits for us and then delivered them to us in a forever settled in Heaven book—the Bible.
