Payday is Coming

September 25, 2022 • Pastor Phil Burggraff • Revelation 22:12–15

Passage: Revelation 22:12–15
Theme: Payday is Coming

Notice three truths about payment at the Second Coming:

1. Jesus brings life’s paycheck (12–13).
a. He renders payment because He is God (13).
b. He pays each of us for what we have done (12b).

2. He blesses those who repent to receive His cleansing (14).
a. Penitents have the right to partake in eternal life.
b. They can freely come into God’s eternal presence.

3. He excludes those who remain unrepentant (15).

Main Challenge: Wear clothes washed in Christ’s blood.


Application Questions:
• From what you heard today, do you think that there will be degrees of reward in heaven for believers? Why or why not (consider the rewards mentioned in this text)?
• How do you define repentance? Is this something you did at some point or something that is an on-going process?
• In what ways is this passage encouraging news to people who sin? How is it frightening news as well?
• How can you wear clothes today washed in Christ’s blood? What attitudes and actions is this passage calling you to embrace?
