"The Spirit and the Bride say, 'Come.'... Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:17, 20)
In the Bible's closing verses, the risen Christ promises to come quickly bringing reward for what each has done, and the Spirit and the church answer with an invitation for anyone who is thirsty to come and drink the water of life. The book ends with a prayer for Jesus' coming and a benediction of grace.
