The Return of the King

The ending to our series on the Kingdom has to end where the whole biblical story does: with the return of Jesus and the final consummation of heaven, earth, and the Kingdom of God. Amidst all the strange poetry, imagery, and symbolism of Revelation's apocalyptic literature, we discover at least two basic themes about the return of Jesus. First, He will return as judge. Second, He will return as healer. In Jesus's final reign we find not only the fulfillment of every spiritual hope we've ever had, but also every political hope. In light of all of this, may we repent, believe, and take the water of life without price.
