He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
"Surely I am coming soon." These are some of the last words in the entire Bible, and they aren't a warning — they're a promise, followed immediately by an answer: "Come, Lord Jesus." A whole year of reading ends not with a summary, but with two people talking, one promising and one wanting that promise to be true.
That's a strange way to end a year. No final checklist, no grand conclusion — just an open invitation left hanging in the air, waiting on a response. And then, right after it, one more line: grace, for everyone. Not for the readers who finished well, not for people who had it figured out by day 365. For all.
So if you're closing out this year uncertain, unfinished, still deciding what you actually think about all of this — you're in good company. The story ends on an invitation, not a verdict. And an invitation, unlike a verdict, is still open.
As one year of reading ends and another begins tomorrow, what would it look like for you to simply answer, "come"?
A short video on this is coming soon — for now, read on.
