River of Life

Phillip, our boys, and grandboys

"Then he showed me a river of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and the Lamb." (Revelation 22:1)

It's that time. On Saturday,  Phillip and the "boys" played Tom Sawyer and floated the jet-ski dock down the Coosa River to a boat ramp to take out the "raft" for winter.

In the new Paradise described in the book of Revelation, a river will flow from the throne of God and the Lamb [Jesus Christ]. On either side of the river, the tree of life will grow, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree are for healing the nations—God's maintaining the redeemed. 

No curse. No death. No mourning. No pain. Simply serving Almighty God face-to-face for all eternity.

Nothing unclean will live there, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

And Jesus said, "Yes, I am coming quickly."

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
