Keep the Change

Summary

Revelation 22 closes with a beautiful reminder: “The one who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” (v. 20). Our response to the promised reward Jesus offers should be one of anticipation and readiness. Just as we prepare ourselves for service in this world, looking to do our best in hopes of receiving acknowledgment, so should we live our lives in faithful service to Jesus, ready to meet him when he returns. Tipping is a transactional expectation, but Christian discipleship is a faithful response to the grace and love that God has already shown us in Jesus Christ.
