Revelation 22:17
“The Spirit and the bride say,
“Come!”
And let the one who hears say,
“Come!”
Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one
who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”
‘The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come,
but they refused to come.
Then he sent some more servants and said,
‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner:
My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready.
Come to the wedding banquet.’
But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business.
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
The king was enraged.
He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
Then he said to his servants,
‘The wedding banquet is ready,
but those I invited did not deserve to come.
So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find,
the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
But when the king came in to see the guests,
he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’
The man was speechless.
Then the king told the attendants,
‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside,
into the darkness,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
For many are invited, but few are chosen.’”
Here’s…Classic Newsboys with a great reminder!!
Hold the milk, put back the sugar They are powerless to console We’ve gathered here to sprinkle ashes From our late friend’s cereal bowl
Breakfast clubbers, say the motto That he taught us to repeat “You will lose it in your gym class If you wait ’til noon to eat.”
Back when the Chess Club said our eggs were soft Every Monday he’d say grace and hold our juice aloft Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune
When the toast has burned And all the milk has turned And Cap’n Crunch is waving farewell When the big one finds you May this song remind you That they don’t serve breakfast in hell
Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies Though to some our friend was odd That day he bought those pine pajamas His check was good with God
Those here without the Lord, how do you cope? For this morning we don’t mourn like those who have no hope Oh, rise up, Froot Loop lovers; sing out sweet and low With spoons held high, we bid our brother “Cheerio!”
John 14:1-4
“Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You believe in God;
believe also in Me.
My Father’s house has many rooms;
if that were not so,
would I have told you
that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back
and take you to be with Me
that you also may be where I am.
You know the way to the place where I am going.“
Colossians 3:1-4
“Since, then,
you have been raised with Christ,
set your hearts on things above,
where Christ is,
seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things above,
not on earthly things.
For you died,
and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is your life,
appears,
then you also will appear with Him in glory.”
Revelation 21:4
“‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death’
or mourning or crying or pain,
for the old order of things has passed away.”
Revelation 22:1-5
“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life,
as clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
down the middle of the great street of the city.
On each side of the river stood the tree of life,
bearing twelve crops of fruit,
yielding its fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
No longer will there be any curse.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city,
and His servants will serve Him.
They will see His face, and His Name will be on their foreheads.
There will be no more night.
They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun,
for the Lord God will give them light.
And they will reign for ever and ever.”
Philippians 3:20-21
“But our citizenship is in Heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ,
who, by the power that enables Him
to bring everything under His control,
will transform our lowly bodies
so that they will be like His Glorious Body.”
Psalm 23:6
“Surely Your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.”
Revelation 19:7-9
“Let us rejoice and be glad
and give Him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and His bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
Then the angel said to me,
‘Write this:
Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’
I see my life sometimes and I ask why… My heart became like stone and turned to ice… Tell me, what have I become? But You came just in time like a shooting star… Across my universe out of the dark… Tell me, what have I become?
Take me away, You save me from myself and all I do… ‘Cause life just ain’t the same when I’m with You…
I can climb the sky!!
You got me… Walking on, wa-walking on the stars… (Walking on, walking on the stars)
I see life through new set of eyes… Set on someone different that I never realized… Outside my mind is a lost world that lies… But step into my thoughts, you’ll believe you can fly… Your words like wings, gravity they defy… My heart like a leaf on the wind catchin’ rides… They say we can’t make it, at least we gotta try… We make too much sense, to foolishly pass it by… So I’m taking a rainbow up to the 5th floor… Steppin’ out to see that You’re really worth more, and I… See our love in 3d, no more 2 dimensional worries… Climb until the sky don’t exist no more… That’s when I’ll knock knock on Your front door… Open to the possibilities I ignored… But I know now exactly what our love was meant for…
Take me away, You save me from myself, and all I do… ‘Cause life just ain’t the same when I’m with You…
I can climb the sky!!
You got me… Walking on, wa-walking on the stars… (Walking on, walking on the stars) Now, I can see my life from way up high… And now the troubles I once knew, I left behind…
I can climb the sky!!
You got me… Walking on, wa-walking on the stars… (Walking on, walking on the stars)
And I can see, much more clear… When I’m lost in Your atmosphere… You pull me close, to the place… Where You’re always waiting… So I won’t stop, the walls are down… Make my way at the speed of sound… Hold me now, hold me now…
Take me away, You save me from myself, and all I do… ‘Cause life just ain’t the same when I’m with You…
I can climb the sky!!
Genesis 1:8
“God called the vault ‘sky.’
And there was evening, and there was morning—
the second day.”
Genesis 1:14-19
“And God said,
‘Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night,
and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times,
and days and years,
and let them be lights in the vault of the sky
to give light on the earth.’
And it was so.
God made two great lights—
the greater light to govern the day
and the lesser light to govern the night.
He also made the stars.
God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
to govern the day and the night,
and to separate light from darkness.
And God saw that it was good.
And there was evening,
and there was morning—
the fourth day.”
Psalm 139:7-12
“Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, You are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there Your hand will guide me,
Your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,’
even the darkness will not be dark to You;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to You.”
Psalm 147:4
“He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.”
Numbers 16:42
“But when the assembly gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron
and turned toward the tent of meeting,
suddenly the cloud covered it
and the glory of the Lord appeared.”
Psalm 136:7-9
“Praise Him who made the heavenly lights,
for His loving-kindness continues forever:
the sun to rule the day,
for His loving-kindness continues forever;
and the moon and stars at night,
for his loving-kindness continues forever.”
Isaiah 40:26
“Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of His great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
“For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven,
with a loud command,
with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet call of God,
and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that,
we who are still alive and are left
will be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
Exodus 13:21-22
“By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud
to guide them on their way
and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light,
so that they could travel by day or night.
Neither the pillar of cloud by day
nor the pillar of fire by night
left its place in front of the people.”
Acts 1:9-11
“He said to them:
‘It is not for you to know the times or dates
the Father has set by His own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’
After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes,
and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going,
when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
‘Men of Galilee,’ they said,
“why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus,
who has been taken from you into Heaven,
will come back in the same way
you have seen Him go into Heaven.”
Philippians 2:15-16
“…so that you may become blameless and pure,
‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’
Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky
Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain Holy, Holy, is He Sing a new song, to Him who sits on Heaven’s mercy seat
Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come With all creation I sing Praise to the King of Kings You are my everything And I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows, of living color Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be to You the only wise King
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder At the mention of Your Name Jesus Your Name is power Breath, and living water Such a marvelous mystery
2 Corinthians 5:21
“God made Him
who had no sin
to be sin for us,
so that in Him
we might become
the righteousness of God.”
Revelation 4:8
“Each of the four living creatures
had six wings
and was covered with eyes all around,
even under his wings.
Day and night they never stop saying:
‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty,
who was,
and is,
and is to come.'”
Revelation 22:1-21
Eden Restored
“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life,
as clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
down the middle of the great street of the city.
On each side of the river stood the tree of life,
bearing twelve crops of fruit,
yielding its fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
No longer will there be any curse.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city,
and his servants will serve Him.
They will see His face,
and His name will be on their foreheads.
There will be no more night.
They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun,
for the Lord God will give them light.
And they will reign for ever and ever.”
John and the Angel
“The angel said to me,
‘These words are trustworthy and true.
The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,
sent His angel to show His servants
the things that must soon take place.’
‘Look, I am coming soon!
Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.’
I, John,
am the one who heard and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them,
I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel
who had been showing them to me.
But he said to me,
‘Don’t do that!
I am a fellow servant with you
and with your fellow prophets
and with all who keep the words of this scroll.
Worship God!’
Then he told me,
‘Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll,
because the time is near.
Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong;
let the vile person continue to be vile;
let the one who does right continue to do right;
and let the holy person continue to be holy.’
Epilogue: Invitation and Warning
‘Look, I am coming soon!
My reward is with Me,
and I will give to each person
according to what they have done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End.
Blessed are those who wash their robes,
that they may have the right to the tree of life
and may go through the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs,
those who practice magic arts,
the sexually immoral,
the murderers,
the idolaters
and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
I, Jesus,
have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches.
I Am the Root
and the Offspring of David,
and the bright Morning Star.”
The Spirit and the bride say,
‘Come!’
And let the one who hears say,
‘Come!’
Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:
If anyone adds anything to them,
God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.
And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy,
