Trust in the Lord: His Return is Near

Wednesday, November 27th: Revelation 22:6-13

Bible Verse:

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.”

— Revelation 22:12 (EHV)

Devotion:

Jesus promises that He is coming soon, and when He comes, He will bring rewards for those who have trusted in Him. This verse reminds us that we need to be ready for Jesus’ return. We don’t know exactly when He will come back, but we can live each day following His ways and trusting His promises.

It’s exciting to think about Jesus returning! While we wait, we can live in a way that pleases Him by loving others, helping those in need, and telling people about Jesus. When He comes back, we will be with Him forever in heaven, and He will give us the greatest reward—eternal life with Him.

Questions to think about:

1. How can you live in a way that shows you are ready for Jesus to come back?

2. What are some ways you can help others while you wait for Jesus’ return?

3. Why is it important to remember that Jesus will come back one day?

Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank You for the promise that You will come back soon. Help me to live in a way that pleases You while I wait for Your return. Amen.

Activity Idea:

Draw a picture of Jesus coming back, bringing rewards for those who believe in Him.

Full Bible Reference:

“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.’ ‘Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.’”
