Summary
Praise him for his faithfulness to his promises, praise him for going to the cross, praise him for the empty tomb, praise him for the church militants, the church of the sight of heaven, the church triumphant, the church that is in heaven. Because where there is willful persistence in sin, where you know it's a sin and you say, well, I know it's a sin, but well God's gracious and God's going to be fine with it. We are looking squarely at the miracle of God's grace, squarely at the miracle of God's grace, because notice here, these are people who using the verbiage here from that verse who didn't ask, they didn't seek or they didn't call. We talked about the church as the body of Christ, the office and work of Christ, how precious we are to God, our hero, the Lord Jesus, and we saw today a prayer, a prayer of praise and pleading, and the Lord's answer. Right after it says, the one who testifies to these things says, surely I'm coming soon, right after that, John writes, Amen, come, Lord Jesus. When we pray that table prayer, when we are asking for God's presence at the table with regard to our meal, that is also a reminder of the very last prayer in Holy Scripture, the very last prayer, where we are praying for the Lord Jesus to come, to come again.
