Today, we come to the end of our
Advent series. It's been based on Jesus' bold statement: 'I am the Light of the
world.' Thus far we've looked at what Jesus has
done in rescuing us from the darkness. Today, we're going to look at what
He will do. Today, we look at our
future as disciples of Jesus. When Jesus returns, the Scripture's theme of
light will come to its climax and that will mean some astounding things for
believers. Before I read the text for the sermon, I want to let you know what I
intend to do. John is picturing your future. He uses some beautiful images to
do that. I'm going to pick a few of them and explain them and what they say
about your future. My goal is to help you to see your future and to see how that
future affects your present. The point of the sermon is about living well now because of what will happen then. Please listen as I read Revelation 22.1-5.
