Revelation 20 – Even Matlock Won’t Win Here
Scripture: Revelation 20
Observation: For people who thought the final judgment would never come, now’s the time they’re proven wrong. All the unbelievers in the history of mankind are lined up and judged by God based on their deeds. Since these are people who never accepted Christ, their fate is sealed. Some have said that this is the saddest passage in scripture since it tells the story of people with no hope.
Application: Much of our lives we function like there’s no judgment coming. When the consequences for our actions aren’t immediate, we fool ourselves into thinking there are no consequences coming. When it comes to eternity, nothing could be more wrong. There is a judgment coming. A judgment that’s swift and sure. We need to be sure of our faith in and acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior, and work hard to spread the good news about him to others so this terrible day can be avoided.
Prayer: Give me courage and perseverance in talking to others about you, and showing them by my life what it means to be a follower of yours so they can avoid this judgment.
