The End of The Story
Revelation 21:3
Message #15
Today we wrap up our survey of the Bible that has followed two parts of the book Multiply – Francis Chan and Mark Bueving. The book has five parts, of which we have dug into two parts. We’ve followed Part 4, “Understanding the Old Testament,” and Part 5, “Understanding the New Testament,” because, in these two parts, we can clearly see “God’s Plan: Genesis to Revelation.”
There are also three other parts of this book – They are:
1). Living as a Disciple Maker
2). Living as the Church
3). How to Study the Bible
In the book, those three parts come before this survey. We’ve just gone through the Old Testament and New Testament. And I would love for you to go through those three parts in the book. You can go through the first three parts of the book, Multiply either before or after you listen to this series. Either way, this is info the Church needs to hear.
Our mission in this Church and in Word By Mail is to be doing exactly what our Lord commanded us to do. Our mission is to be making Disciples of all nations, and that is the mission of the book Multiply as well. And if you have heard (or seen) these fifteen messages surveying “God’s Plan of Redemption from Genesis to Revelation,”… you can’t just stop there.
Our mission – the mission of the entire Church of Jesus Christ – is to be making Disciples until the Lord returns. So please, don’t stop at just listening and learning. Keep pressing in until you (personally) have become an active, fruitful part of God’s plan for the Church, which is for us to be making Disciples. There’s a place for you (personally) in God’s plan, and I pray you will take your place and receive the incredible and eternal blessings of following Jesus and helping others follow him.
Be a Disciple who is involved in making Disciples.
In fifteen weeks, we’ve gone from the Creation of the World to (today) the Creation of the New World.
Genesis 1 verse 1 says,
Genesis 1:1 (ESV)
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
And then, from Genesis, we followed the single Thread of Redemption until we get to Revelation 21, verse 5, and read,
Revelation 21:5 (ESV)
5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” . . .
It’s so important that you see the connection of Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 with Revelation Chapters 21 and 22. The first two chapters and the last two chapters of the Bible go together. They are bookends of one single plan. And when you read them together, you say, “Wait a minute! I think God is actually returning all of creation back to the way he originally created it! Now I understand the storyline.”
And so, we’ve gone from God creating the Heavens and the Earth to God making all things new. God absolutely IS going to return his creation (including Mankind) to the glory that he first created it with. God’s Plan of Redemption is God reversing the effects of the Fall and returning his creation to a sinless state.
Originally God created Mankind in his own image and placed them in his perfect world to lovingly rule over it – on his behalf. Then Adam and Eve rebelled; they rejected God and chose sin, and in doing so, they put all this world under the curse of sin. But God was not “taken by surprise.” Instead, God immediately made a promise regarding his Plan of Redemption. In Genesis 3, verse 15, God tells the serpent the Seed of the Woman will one day strike a fatal blow to your head, even though you will strike his heel. And from that moment on, the victory of God’s Plan of Redemption for Mankind and creation was guaranteed. And in John 19:30, when Jesus cried out: “IT IS FINISHED!” that victory over Satan, sin, and the curse was finished. It was complete.
Satan had a legal claim against us. Our sin required God’s judgment and Satan worked hard for us to receive that judgment. But Colossians 2 says,
Colossians 2:14–15 (NLT)
14 [Jesus] canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
15 In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
Satan had us right where he wanted us – judged in our sin. But Jesus canceled the record of the charges of sin against us. Jesus won our final victory on the Cross, and he made a public spectacle of Satan and all his cohorts.
The life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the culmination – the grand finale – the final act of God’s Plan of Redemption for us and creation.
Jesus did what none of us could ever do. He lived a perfect life, then died in our place as our payment so that we can be reconciled to a righteous God in his own righteousness!! If you belong to Jesus Christ today, the work of your salvation is finished!
Your victory over sin “in him” is complete.
Your eternal life “with him” is guaranteed
If you belong to Jesus today – whatever happens in this life, in this fallen and cursed world… it cannot even be compared to the glory God has already reserved on your behalf.
Turn to Romans 8.
Romans 8:18 (ESV)
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
For those who have chosen Christ, the end is so glorious, so incredible, so joyful, so indescribable the trials and tribulations of this world are not even worthy to be compared to it. The end of the story is Jesus Christ has won – once and for all. And if he is your Lord, then the glory that is waiting for you is incomparable to anything you can imagine.
Would you do me a favor? Would you mark in your Bible Romans 8:18-25 and really spend some time there?
God’s Plan of Redemption has worked out perfectly.
God picked a man – Abraham
God picked a people – Israel
God picked a royal line - David
And God has perfectly woven every detail together throughout all of human history. All lead up to the culmination and final victory of Jesus Christ on the Cross and in the Resurrection.
But wait… because still… we’re here…
Still in a fallen world
Still battling our sinful flesh
Still not seeing our full and tangible victory (even though it’s finished)
True – but we have the promise of God to hold on to, and we have the down payment of our guaranteed victory, and that down payment is the Holy Spirit – God himself – living in us.
Ephesians 1:13–14 (ESV)
13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
We have a taste of “God With Us” right now.
The Holy Spirit enables us
To fellowship with God now
To commune with God now
To serve God now
It’s all we can handle, and yet it is a small taste of what God has promised us in the full victory of Jesus Christ.
We can’t yet see with our physical eyes the full victory, but we do know the end of the story.
The Book of Revelation was written
So that we could know the end of the story
So that our faith could have something tangible to hold on to
Our victory in Christ is already finished, but God is still moving everything toward its eternal end, either victory in Christ or final judgment upon sin. Jesus appeared the first time to be the necessary sacrifice to redeem us to God – to save us from our sin. And he is going to appear a second time to bring our redemption to its final fulfillment. THIS is the end of the story.
Today, it’s not hard for us to see there is something very wrong in this world, right? And some people blame different things for the pain and tragedy of this world, and how often have you heard people BLAME GOD? (We blame God so often, don’t we?) But the actual truth is God is not the problem. God is the answer. Romans 8, verse 19 speaks to this when it says creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption along with the Children of God.
This world and all who are born in it are born in bondage to corruption, in bondage to sin.
No politics
No peace movements
No human rights movements…
Not even stopping global warming can fix the bondage to corruption that we and this world are in.
But God has a Plan of Redemption – a perfect plan – to redeem this world and all who will put their faith in Jesus Christ. God’s Plan of Redemption culminates in the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ because (listen, please) only the work of Jesus Christ can break the bondage to sin and corruption this world is under because only Jesus Christ has beat the power of sin by paying the required consequence of death.
And this one who has beat sin and death is coming back! And because of who Jesus IS and what he has DONE to free us and creation from our bondage to sin, when Jesus returns, it will be to rule over a perfect, sinless, recreated world.
Turn to Philippians Chapter 2.
Philippians 2:9–11 (ESV)
9 Therefore (because of Who Jesus Is and What He’s Done) God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Every knee, by choice or by requirement – will bow
Every tongue, by choice or by requirement – will confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
Jesus Christ is Lord of all creation, and one day he will make that perfectly clear and from God’s perspective, there has never been any other plan.
Francis Chan Multiply
God’s plan of redemption has never been contingent. There has never been any doubt about the way history will end. This is God’s world; He created it; He vowed to reclaim it; He died to purchase His people, and finally, when the time arrives, He will come and take this world by force.
Far too many of us still see Jesus Christ as some sort of Jewish Gandhi. Guys, Jesus came to break the bondage of sin and corruption that we and all creation were under. He did it while being the Divine Teacher and Humble Servant. But he came to win a war that you and I could not win. He came to break a bondage you and I could not break. He came to pay the full penalty of sin so you and I could choose to not have to pay it ourselves. Jesus Christ is the Conquering King of all Creation, and when he returns – that will be perfectly clear.
We just finished studying Revelation, verse-by-verse in forty-three messages. And in Revelation Chapter 1, we looked at “Who Jesus Christ is Today.” I’d encourage you to listen to or watch that message on the Phone App, (search your app store for Word by Mail), on the website – wordbymail.com, on Roku or Apple TV.
Let’s turn over to Revelation Chapter 1 for a quick refresher.
Revelation 1:10-17 (ESV)
10 (The Apostle John says) I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet
. . . (skip to v.12)
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.
14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead . . .
The first time Jesus came, he came as a sacrificial servant
The next time Jesus comes, he comes as conquering King.
The purpose of Revelation is not to fuel the prophecy book business… The purpose of Revelation is to make it one hundred percent perfectly clear the end of the story is – Jesus wins! And all those who’ve put their faith in him – win in him!
Revelation was written primarily for encouragement. Encouragement for believers like us who get worn down, tired and discouraged. The purpose of Revelation is to tell the end of the story, and it does so in dramatic fashion because the end of the story is dramatic. And when you get to the end of the story in Revelation 21 and 22, some incredible things tie all of God’s plan together. The first chapters of Genesis and the last chapters of Revelation describe a very similar environment.
We dealt with that in our five-message mini-series on Heaven that we did at the end of Revelation (messages 38-42). It’s amazing to look at the similarities of the Garden of Eden and the New Earth, and when you do, you end up saying, hey, it looks like God’s plan is to return things to the way they were before sin. Revelation 21 and 22 use descriptions from both the Garden of Eden and the Temple in Jerusalem because these two places were where God communed with Man. Everything about the old creation that was in bondage to sin has been made new, and the new creation will be so full of joy that it’s hard to even imagine right now. But the most incredible thing, the most joyful thing about creation is found in Revelation 21, verse 3.
Revelation 21:3 (ESV)
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Listen, please. This is the final fulfillment of the covenants God made with his people from the very beginning. How many times have we read “they will be his people and he will be their God”? And at the end of the story in Revelation 21, verse 3, we read,
Revelation 21:3 (ESV)
3 … Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
And Revelation 5:9 makes it clear, the fulfillment of God’s Plan of Redemption includes those from every tribe, every language, every people, every nation – on earth!
God’s Plan of Redemption includes – you! Jesus included you when he died to pay for the sins of the world – as 1 John 2:2 says. And you can receive that redemption – today. It is for you, but you must receive it because the end of the story is also very clear for those who reject God’s offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. Revelation Chapter 20 and Chapter 22 both say for those who reject God’s plan of salvation in Jesus Christ – they will be judged by their works, and before you decide you’ll go with that approach, remember no sin can be in the presence of God.
So, if you go with the I’ll be judged by my works approach, you’ll be given the opportunity to prove you have never sinned. But if you have sinned (and the Bible says we have all sinned…)If you have sinned the judgment is eternal separation from God in a place the Bible calls Hell, which is just as real as Heaven.
Please hear me when I say, God has a plan for your salvation. It’s a plan he’s had since the foundation of the world; his plan is to save you from the judgment your sin requires and to make a place for you in Heaven with him for eternity.
Your role, your part is:
Put your faith in Jesus Christ
Truly receive him as your Savior and Lord
And the greatest eternal blessings of God’s Plan of Redemption will be yours.
Please allow the realities of the eternal joy of Heaven versus the eternal judgment for sin to motivate you to turn from sin and this world and turn to Jesus Christ for salvation and eternal life.
Commit your entire life to Christ. Ask him to save you from your sin and commit to follow him as your Lord. Then allow him to transform you into a Disciple.
There are also three other parts of this book – They are:
1). Living as a Disciple Maker
2). Living as the Church
3). How to Study the Bible
In the book, those three parts come before this survey. We’ve just gone through the Old Testament and New Testament. And I would love for you to go through those three parts in the book. You can go through the first three parts of the book, Multiply either before or after you listen to this series. Either way, this is info the Church needs to hear.
