When partnering with your family to know, love, and follow Jesus, we strive to create and share content filtered by the Head-Heart-Hands model.
Head: the knowledge of God and His Word | Heart: the personal connection from scripture | Hands: a missional mindset
HEAD
In this final chapter of Revelation, John describes a crystal-clear river with the water of life. This river flows from the throne of God, and on each side of the river, there is a tree of life-bearing leaves used for medicine to heal the nations. We are told that there will no longer be a curse on anything and there will be no night because God will shine down on His people. We are also told that Jesus is coming soon and those who obey the words of prophecy will be blessed. For these people will be allowed to enter the city and eat from the tree of life and they will reign forever and ever.
HEART
Can you imagine what it will be like when Christ returns? How exciting it is to know that Jesus is coming soon not only to be with us but to bring His reward to us as well. For all wickedness and evil will be no more and we will be able to eat the fruit from the tree of life. As followers of Christ, we can take comfort in knowing that Jesus is someday coming back to be with us for all of eternity. For He is “the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, The Beginning and the End”.
HANDS
Take a moment and think about how you can prepare your heart and mind for Jesus’ return.
Prayer: Dear God, thank You for giving us a glimpse into what is to come and that we can look forward to one day being with You. Help us to prepare our hearts for Your return and to stay focused on You and on the plan that You have for us here on Earth. In Jesus' name, amen.
